Islam in the Swedish Socio-Cultural and Educational Context

About this programme

The course provides knowledge on issues of religious diversity in school with a focus on Islam. In the course, Islam is presented as a cultural component, using Sweden and the Swedish school system as an example. Different interpretations and perspectives are presented and related to both the school's teaching and the situation of Muslims in Swedish society. Issues related to Islamophobia, extremism and the school's democratic mission are discussed and problematized. Central themes that are also touched upon are equality issues, religion and power, freedom of religion issues and what the presence of different religious groups means for the school as an institution.
