This course provides an overview of Islamic law in the contemporary world. We begin with abbreviated and introductory sessions on Islamic legal history and historiography, as well as Islamic jurisprudence. The course then moves on to exploring colonialism, neo-colonialism, secularism, international law, and governance. Through country and topical case studies, the class will deal with some of the more important current issues shaping Islamic law. No prior knowledge of Islamic law is necessary.
We also have special academic rules for these condensed courses:
-Students must attend each course session and cannot attend any course session remotely (even for illness or emergency situations).
-The Registrar’s Office will drop a student who does not attend each course session.
Due to the condensed nature of this course, in-person attendance at all course sessions is mandatory. Absences cannot be excused for any reason, including illness or emergencies. The Registrar’s Office will drop any student who misses a session.
Attendance at the first class is mandatory for all currently enrolled and waitlisted students; any currently enrolled or waitlisted students who are not present on the first day of class (without prior permission of the instructor) will be dropped. The instructor will continue to take attendance throughout the add/drop period and anyone who moves off the waitlist into the class must continue to attend or have prior permission of the instructor in order not to be dropped.
