This seminar examines the Israel-Palestine conflict from a religious studies perspective. It is not primarily concerned with the question of whether or not this is a genuinely religious conflict; rather, the focus is on whether, how and, if so, since when religion has been a factor in the genesis and course of the conflict.
The convenors are aware that the topic of the course is highly politically charged. Course participants are therefore asked to use inclusive and fair language and to practice a tolerant culture of discussion. This course is not about taking a political stance, but about exploring the extent to which an academic perspective focussed on the topic of religion can contribute to an understanding of the conflict.
