عن المقرر

Christian-Muslim relations in Egypt are deeply rooted in the country’s history and are influenced by state policies, religious institutions, and global political events. This course adopts an interdisciplinary approach to explore the evolution and current state of these relations, with a focus on their social, political, and cultural dimensions.

Students will examine topics such as the historical foundations of the Egyptian Millet system, the dynamics of church-state relations, and the socio-legal challenges surrounding religious practices, such as church building. Special attention will be given to the roles of women and gender, the influence of religious media, and how Christian-Muslim relations in Egypt intersect with broader geopolitical issues, including the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Through lectures, discussions, case studies, and potential fieldwork, students will develop a nuanced understanding of how religious identity, state power, and sociopolitical contexts shape interfaith dynamics in Egypt today.

Course Aim:

The course aims to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the historical, political, and social factors shaping Christian-Muslim relations in contemporary Egypt. By engaging with themes such as religious identity, gender dynamics, legal frameworks, and global conflicts, students will critically analyze interfaith relations within Egypt’s complex sociopolitical landscape. The course also fosters skills in interdisciplinary research, critical thinking, and cross-cultural analysis.
