The course will introduce contemporary academic debates on the complex interactions between what is broadly labelled 'Islam and the West'. Looking at these issues mainly from a social scientific view point, the course will emphasise the contemporary factors of multiculturalism and globalisation whch frame these transnational relations and networks.
Students will be expected to reflect on the history of encounters between Muslim and 'the West' (in particular European nations and cultures), exploring concepts such as the 'clash'/'dialogue'of civilisations. This will be related to sociological literature on globalisation and multiculturalism, particularly with reference to specific case examples of Muslim cultures and societies in contemporary contexts.Structure

This course will examine the theoretical and conceptual framework within which Muslims approach the Bayt al-Maqdis (Islamic Jerusalem)region. It will address the key social, religious, historical, geographical and political aspects of Islamic Jerusalem. Several questions will be key to the study of this course: What are the reasons for Muslims' having close links and concern with Islamic Jerasulem? What is the significance of Islamic Jerusalem to Islam and Muslims? Does Islamic Jerusalem have any special status compared with any other region? Particular attention will be paid to the vision of Islamic Jerusalem, its boundaries, and the Circle Theory of Islamic Jerusalem.
