This upper level seminar explores different approaches to reforming Islamic law from the nineteenth century to the present day, paying special attention to contemporary developments in Arab legal systems. Through reading a variety of primary and secondary materials, along with side interludes of literature, film, and architectural theory, the seminar seeks to critically explore the plurality of different and often contradictory meanings associated with "Islamic law" today, its past history, and present calls for its re-application. Enrollment limited to 20.
