Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course will engage with contemporary debates on religion and politics in Europe. On the one hand, anti-terrorism and security concerns push European nations to compromise the religious liberties of Muslims and to restrict the practice of Islam in the public space. On the other hand, European countries seek to regulate, institutionalize and give representation to (i.e. ‘Europeanize’) Islam and to facilitate the socioeconomic integration of Muslim minorities. At the same time, the public visibility of Islam has rekindled discussions concerning the nature and content of European secularism, unintentionally giving rise to secular populist movements and Islamophobia. Using Austria, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, as case studies, this course will frame this paradox that the European nations face. The course language is English.
