"The Exploring Muslim Cultures course was illuminating – it shone a
light onto a religion and culture woefully misunderstood in the
West. Its perspective was a balanced one and the lecture topics
were diverse and fascinating, ranging from art and architecture to
gender and economics. Tuesday and Thursday night lectures fast
became the highlight of my week for the duration of the
course."
Fiona Salem, Exploring Muslim Cultures, 2009
"The journey of building a personal understanding of some of the
wide-ranging, complex and fluid topics touched upon within this
course is, of course, life-long. However, the short course offers a
convenient basis from which to direct one's own reading and
learning. I feel privileged to have been a part of this tolerant
space for thought and contemplation."
