Caitlin Corning speaks on history of Islam Monday
The campus community is invited to the next installment of the “Islam and the West” Liberal Arts and Critical Issues series this Monday, Sept. 8, in Hoover 105. This time, Caitlin Corning, professor of history at George Fox, will speak on the topic “From Mecca to Modern Times: A Historical Survey of Islam.”
The session runs from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.
Corning will explore why Islam began, where it spread and other basic points of its history. The lecture will provide an overview of the expansion of Islam in the medieval and modern periods and some of the more recent challenges facing Islam.
