Islam, Secularism, Global Movements

Module Title: Islam, Secularism, Global Movements

Module Leader: Dr Iza Hussin

Overview:

This 7 week session will be organised around three major themes in the study of religion and politics: modern Islam and Muslim politics, secular/ism, and global movements and mobility. With readings drawn from recent published work in the field, it applies comparative political and historical analysis to key theoretical, methodological, and policy issues in religion and politics research: is Islam an exception in the study of religion and politics? How do modern states define, order, and reproduce religion? How does mobility, and mobilisation, beyond the state matter for research on religion and politics?
