PSC 375 - Political Islam (4 Cr.)


Political Islam is among the most salient, interesting, and misunderstood concepts in our political vocabulary today.

The course will draw on cases of both Sunni and Shia; Arab and non-Arab; and democratic, semi-democratic, and authoritarian polities. Prerequisite: two courses in political science, junior standing, or permission of the instructor. Spring semester. Chernov-Hwang.
