a) Basic historical understanding of Muslims in Europe, starting from the first influences from Eastern, Southern and Western Europe to the relationship of the Ottoman Empire to the Habsburg Monarchy to the labour migration and flight of Muslims to Europe.
b) Basic understanding of systems of religious law in Europe, looking back at their origins and taking into account current converging trends in Europe, especially in the legal spheres of the EU (EuG/EuGH) and the Council of Europe by means of supranational jurisdiction (EGMR).
c) Basic understanding of systems of governance and social theories in political science, including 'Multiple Diversity Governance' (Joseph Marko), in particular of integrative, assimilationist or separating/segregating maxims of action, with reference to current political developments and events in Austria and other states of the EU and the Council of Europe.
d) Basic sociological understanding of social behaviour, taking into account various factors such as origin, religion, minority, milieu, education, language, work, participation, etc., in particular the behaviour of religious minorities in Europe in connection with legal and political circumstances.
e) Basic theological knowledge about living (together) in non-Muslim majority societies.
In the first seminar unit, there is an introduction of the course leader and all participants. Organisational matters are discussed, in particular attendance and absence, the SE process, collaboration and assignments, office hours and grading. From the second seminar unit onwards, students are instructed to read the texts for the following unit, which are posted on Moodle in good time, and to write a reflection with the essential core statements or to give a short presentation on an assigned topic. In the last third of the seminar, problem-centred topics are developed.
According to the curriculum, it is also possible to write the Bachelor's thesis in this seminar. For this purpose, course no. 144024 is also recommended.
