1 THE CENTER FOR ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES The University of Texas at Austin Spring 2012 SYLLABUS MUSLIMS IN AMERICA: COMMUNITY, NATION, REPRESENTATION AAS 310 (35835)/ ISL 311(UNIQUE)/ RS 316K (UNIQUE)/WGS 301 (UNIQUE) Office Hours: TBA & by appointment Phone;TBA Mondays and Wednesday 2-3:30 PM PAR 105 INSTRUCTOR Alisa Perkins Office Location: TBA Course website (Blackboard) COURSE DESCRIPTION In this class, we will explore the significance of being Muslim in America. With regard to ethnic composition, class status, and political affiliation, American Muslims make up the most diverse religious group in the United States today. By focusing on South Asian, Arab, and African American Muslims in comparative and historical perspective, we will deepen our understanding of the diversity and commonalities that characterize this group. A second major theme in this class will be to understand how the events of 9/11, and the subsequent war against terror have impacted the experiences and representation of Muslims in America. In doing so, we will investigate the historical legacies of contemporary Islamophobic attitudes, policies, and practices. We will pay particular attention to the ways in which Muslims in America have continued to make space for themselves and their modes of religious expression in the American public square despite, and in dialogue with, this challenging history. Class materials will include current events articles and newscasts, fictional and autobiographical accounts, ethnographic, historical, and political science texts, plus as series of films about Muslims in America. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Attendance and absentee policy: In order to succeed in this class you must attend class regularly and keep up with readings. Success in this course depends on attendance and class participation. Attendance is taken at every class meeting, and a pattern of absence will result in a lowered class grade. Absences may be excused in the event of illness or extreme circumstances, but you must me in advance in the case of missed classes, and documentation must be provided. Evaluation: There will be two quizzes, a mid-term and a final exam. The mid-term will be inclass, consisting of short answers and briefs essay based on the topics covered in the readings, lectures, and films. The final will be a take-home exam and you will be asked to answer two questions in essays of 2-3 pages each.
2 Perkins Page 2 of 6 In addition, each student will also be responsible for preparing three brief reflection papers (2-3 pages each).
