In examining the privileged role of cities and urban history within Islamicate history, we interrogate what it has meant to speak of an 'Islamic City' and how we can understand cities as spaces that both shape and reflect social relations. To deepen our engagement with sensory and lived experiences in urban spaces over time, this course features a practice of daily mapping and visual notetaking. Students then investigate a historical or contemporary ‘Islamic City’ of their choosing. Meets the Critical Learning: CP requirement. Meets the Critical Learning: HP requirement.
