The Study of Islam Section is the home for the academic study of Islam within the American Academy of Religion. The section encompasses various approaches and subjects, from Qur'anic studies to modern reform movements, and from textual research to sociology; the section also has an enduring interest in pedagogical issues associated with the teaching of Islam. The purpose of the section is both to provide a forum for dialogue among differing approaches and projects within Islamic studies and also to provide opportunities for the discussion of work that affects the overall field of the study of religion. The section normally meets for five to seven two-and-a-half-hour sessions at each Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Religion. Check groups.colgate.edu/aarislam/ for more info.
