This seminar series examines how Islam is represented in different
geographic locations. The practice of Islam, like any religion, is
influenced by the society in which it exists. While the study of

Islam in a globalized world. Through the unique talents and dedicated
research of a range of scholars, the series offers a rare opportunity
