LLAS is one of six subject centres contributing to the work of the Higher Education Academy’s Islamic Network. Islamic Studies is recognised by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) as a strategically important subject and the Network, launched in May 2010, supports teaching and learning about Islam and Muslims across disciplines in UK higher education.
Organised by the Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies, this workshop discusses teaching about Islam and Muslims in languages and area studies programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Possible themes for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
* Teaching about Islam, Muslims and Islamic countries in languages and area studies outside of the middle East and North Africa, e.g. languages and area studies of Europe, the Americas, Africa, South and South-east Asia
* Issues of interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity in teaching about Islam and Muslims in languages and area studies programmes
* Teaching about the experiences of Muslims inside and outside the Islamic world;
* Teaching about political, economic, social and cultural relations between ‘the West’ and the Islamic World
* Teaching languages for Islamic Studies
This event will give lecturers, practitioners and postgraduate students an opportunity to share practice in their areas of interest and to discuss issues and potential developments in teaching Islam in languages and area studies courses.
Colleagues are therefore invited to submit abstracts of no more than 200 words to llas@soton.ac.uk by 30 September.
It is anticipated that we are able to subsidise reasonable travel expenses to speakers of selected papers.
