1 ANTH 5404 Understanding Islam Fall Term, Academic Year Lecture Time: Monday 16:30-18:15 Tutorial: Monday 18:30 19:15 Lecturer: Dr Paul O Connor (paul.oconnor@cuhk.edu.hk) Classroom: Humanities Building - 12 Teaching Assistant: Rao Yichen Course Description This class begins its study of Islam by examining the historical developments of Islam in pre-islamic Arabia and looking at the life of various religious figures. It then examines aspects of Islamic civilization, culture and philosophy. Finally it addresses issues of the so-called politicization of religion in the context of globalizing modernity and violent conflict. Throughout this course we will investigate the insights that anthropological analyses can offer to discussions centering the relations between Muslim societies and the West. Course Objectives Students will appreciate the contemporary cultural diversity, values and world views of Muslims living in diverse circumstances and places Understand the contemporary struggles over religious authority and orthodoxy in some parts of the Muslim world Understand the tensions and potential conflicts between religious ideas and practices relating to gender, education and art Be able to challenge and think critically about stereotypes about Muslims and Islam Medium of Instruction - English Course Assessment Assessment Mark Percentage Word length/ duration Due Date Class/Tutorial Participation & Oral Presentation 10% Weekly Participation On-going Class Project 10% Halal Project 17 November Take-home exam 40% 3,000 words 27 October Research Essay 40% 3,000 words 8 December

Research Essay (40%) Students are required to write a 3,000 word research paper on the close reading of a topic from lectures week 7 to 13. It should include a research question and reference to scholarly work. Students must demonstrate that they have read and researched the topic and articulate a critical position.
