Exploring Muslim Cultures at AKU-ISMC

Exploring Muslim Cultures


This course is unique in providing an engaging and thought-provoking overview of Muslim cultures, past and present. It covers topics such as the Qur’an, law, art and architecture, gender, the impact of colonialism and issues of development (poverty, education, public policy, etc). Participants will receive a concise yet well-rounded introduction to political, intellectual, social and historical developments in Muslim societies.

The course is offered two evenings a week, over a four-week period. Participants benefit from different lecturers for each session and, as with all our courses, background readings are provided.
