Dear Concentrators and Secondary Field Students in the Study of Religion:
One of our advanced doctoral students, Kirsten Wesselhoeft, is offering the following
session on Islam. It is open to all undergraduates in the Study of Religion, not just
those enrolled in courses on Islam! No preparation is necessary, just come and
learn/review some fundamentals. See you there!
Courtney Lamberth
One time "Crash Course" on Islamic History and Concepts for Undergraduates
Are you taking a course about Islam and find yourself with some basic questions? Still not
quite sure about the origins of the difference between Sunni and Shi'a? Confused by
some of the Arabic vocabulary? This session will give an overview of Islamic history
through 750, review different kinds of important Islamic texts, and cover important
vocabulary for the study of Islam. It is open to anyone who is interested. There will be
audio and visual material, helpful handouts, and an opportunity to pose any kind of
questions.
The session will meet at 3:00 pm on Monday, February 11th in Barker 403.
