Religious Cultural Heritage: Concepts & Issues in the Modern Middle East (Online Short Course)

14 October '22 at 1:15 pm - 21 October '22 at 4:00 pm

This is a two-day introductory course on the theme of religious cultural heritage (RCH) in the Middle East. It aims to contextualise RCH as the living cultural heritage of its community of users. In addition, the course attempts to present RCH as a contemporary construct of its socio-political and religious context through its connections to ethnicity, gender, nationalism, as much as religion.
