Islam in the Modern World (From 1800) (P00344)

? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 11 ? Acronym : LLC-P-P00344

This course examines some of the interactions between Islam and the various faces of 'the modern world' during colonial and post-colonial periods. A case-study approach will be used to identify currents of thought influencing such interactions. This will offer a basis for exploring 21st century issues. Case studies will be variously approached through student presentations, class discussion of set reading, and lectures.
