REL 332 - Looking for Islam: Morocco

Taught in an immersion setting (in Morocco) the course explores the ways in which Islam emerges within one particular social and cultural setting. It focuses both on the varieties of religious expression within a single culture, and on its forms of expression in everyday life. In the process we examine apparently non-religious institutions, such as family structures, art and architecture, urban design, political organization, etc. in order to understand the intersection of cultural practices, political and economic realities, and religious systems.
