发帖数: 4981 | 2 The Yale University Ph. D. Program in Islamic Studies is devoted to
comprehensive research on the religion of Islam and to training superior
students for academic careers in that field. Students accepted into the
program are offered full scholarships along with a multi-year stipend.
Islamic Studies is one of ten fields in the Department of Religious Studies,
where students and professors researching different religious traditions
interact. In addition to Prof. Gerhard Bowering and Assoc. Prof. Frank
Griffel, students also have the benefit of professors in the Near Eastern
Studies, History, and Political Science Departments.
Students in Islamic Studies are expected to develop both a comprehensive
knowledge of Islamic intellectual history and religious thought, as well as
mastery of a field of specialization and the requisite tools for critical
scholarship on Islam. They are expected to demonstrate competence in Islamic
religious history (focusing on the development of Islamic civilization, law
, society and institutions in the period from the origins of Islam to 1500
CE); Islamic religious thought (focusing on Islamic philosophy, theology,
Sufism and Shi’ism); Islamic scripture and tradition (focusing on the
composition, redaction and interpretation of Qur’an and Hadith); and modern
and contemporary Islam (focusing on 16th to 21st century developments in
the Arab Middle East, the Turco-Iranian world, South Asia, Southeast Asia,
Africa and, most recently, Europe and America). Frank Griffel is responsible
for modern and contemporary Islam, Gerhard Bowering for Islamic religious
history; and thought as well as Qur’an and Hadith. Arabic language and
literature, as well as Persian and Turkish, are taught in the Department of
Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. Modern Iranian history and Islamic
political thought are taught respectively in the Department of History and
Political Science. |
