How can teachers introduce Islam to students when daily media headlines can prejudice students' perception of the subject? Should Islam be taught differently in secular universities than in colleges with a clear faith-based mission? What are strategies for discussing Islam and violence without perpetuating stereotypes? The contributors of Teaching Islamic Studies in the Age of ISIS, Islamophobia, and the Internet address these challenges head-on and consider approaches to Islamic studies pedagogy, Islamophobia and violence, and suggestions for how to structure courses. These approaches acknowledge the particular challenges faced when teaching a topic that students might initially fear or distrust. Speaking from their own experience, they include examples of collaborative teaching models, reading and media suggestions, and ideas for group assignments that encourage deeper engagement and broader thinking. The contributors also share personal struggles when confronted with students (including Muslim students) and parents who suspected the courses might have ulterior motives. In an age of stereotypes and misrepresentations of Islam, this book offers a range of means by which teachers can encourage students to thoughtfully engage with the topic of Islam.

How much can fourteen undergraduate students learn from a six-week summer course about Islam? One of the course assignments in a six-week undergraduate Summer course on Islamic Traditions at the University of California, Santa Barbara was for the students to maintain their notes on all aspects of the course as a collaboratively authored living document that would be continually updated and reorganized to present their total understanding of the course topics in the form of a textbook. Their remarkable final product is presented here, without any significant changes to the content. This volume offers educators the valuable opportunity to directly perceive what students took away from an introductory undergraduate course on Islam. How did the students understand the assigned readings? What topics did students engage with most enthusiastically, and why? What expermental teaching styles were employed in the course, and how effective were they as means to support the learning objectives of the course? Collaboratively authored by Sean Knight, Trent Davidson, Paul Pineda, Thao Nguyen, Anthony Khoa A. Tran, Leslie J.Acero, Sara Moretti, Alexandra Kineret, Blake Keane, Mingfei Xu, Afreen Chaus, Ramzi Bekeri, Kaitlyn Woodward, and Aniela Grych. Edited by Brendan Newlon.

Beginning in the late eighteenth century, British rule transformed the relationship between law, society, and the state in South Asia. But qazis and muftis, alongside ordinary people without formal training in law, fought back as the colonial system in India sidelined Islamic legal experts. They petitioned the East India Company for employment, lobbied imperial legislators for recognition, and built robust institutions to serve their communities. By bringing legal debates into the public sphere, they resisted the colonial state's authority over personal law and rejected legal codification by embracing flexibility and possibility. With postcards, letters, and telegrams, they made everyday Islamic law vibrant and resilient and challenged the hegemony of the Anglo-Indian legal system. Following these developments from the beginning of the Raj through independence, Elizabeth Lhost rejects narratives of stagnation and decline to show how an unexpected coterie of scholars, practitioners, and ordinary individuals negotiated the contests and challenges of colonial legal change. The rich archive of unpublished fatwa files, qazi notebooks, and legal documents they left behind chronicles their efforts to make Islamic law relevant for everyday life, even beyond colonial courtrooms and the confines of family law. Lhost shows how ordinary Muslims shaped colonial legal life and how their diversity and difference have contributed to contemporary debates about religion, law, pluralism, and democracy in South Asia and beyond.
