Bay Area teachers gathered at Stanford for a five-week program this spring that provided educators strategies to teach Islam. The program, a collaboration involving three Stanford organizations, doesn’t shy away from Islam’s complicated nature.
A unique collaboration at Stanford is bringing a renewed focus to one of the world’s most followed but misunderstood religions.
Stanford’s Institute on Islam, a collaboration involving the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies, the Center to Support Excellence in Teaching (CSET) and Stanford Global Studies, held a five-week program this spring that provided Bay Area teachers innovative strategies to better educate students on Islam, the world’s second-largest religion with 1.8 billion followers.
Through a variety of programs, fellowships, and funding opportunities, VPGE supports diversity and interdisciplinary collaboration on campus.
