The Muslim prophet Muhammad has been the object of both curious fascination and vociferous debate from the era in which he lived until today. This course will examine both Muhammad’s life in Arabia in the sixth and seventh centuries and his global afterlife: that is, how and why Muhammad has become both a source of inspiration and consternation for billions around the world. Through careful attention to the various genres in which this life has been remembered and reactivated within the Islamic tradition, we will spend a portion of the term inhabiting an alternative scholarly tradition, which nevertheless will come to shed light on the limits and possibilities of our own processes of inquiry and critical thinking. Though looking at the life of the Prophet Muhammad as an object of debate, we will come to hone our own self-awareness of the rhetorical strategies we employ in argument-making, examining the role of contemporary historical and political contexts on how we construe truth.

From its beginnings, Christianity has been concerned with the making of new persons and worlds: the creation of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. It has also maintained a tight relationship to power, empire, and the making of modernity. In this course we will investigate this relationship within the context of colonial projects in the Americas, Africa, India, and the Pacific. We will trace the making of modern selves from Columbus to the abolition (and remainders) of slavery, and from the arrival of Cook in the Sandwich Islands to the journals of missionaries and the contemporary fight for Hawaiian sovereignty.
