Simon Fraser University’s fourth annual offering of a summer program designed to broaden public understanding of an often misunderstood and feared group shifts to London, England this summer, July 18 to 29.
SFU’s Centre for the Comparative Study of Muslim Societies and Cultures (CCSMSC) and Aga Khan University’s Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilizations (AKU-ISMC) in London have been offering a joint summer program since 2008. The universities are now reviewing 2011 applications. CCSMSC and AKU-ISMC alternate yearly in hosting Expressions of Diversity: A Contemporary Introduction to Muslim Cultures, a non-credit course. CCSMSC director and associate professor of history, Derryl Maclean hopes that despite the shift in location, the 2011 student enrolment is as diverse, global and enthusiastic as last year’s.
