Jocelyne Cesari of Harvard University will present Islamopedia, a collection of rulings and religious opinions addressing important topics in contemporary Islam: gender, non-Muslims, violence, secularism. Islamopedia (www.islamopediaonline.org) maps the landscape of global Islam, given the highly charged context of the global Muslim community today. Toward this end, the site explores topics of vigorous discussion and diverse opinion: democracy, human rights, pluralism, women’s roles, and the impact of Westernization. This resource will serve the needs of non-specialists who want to know more, non-Muslim groups interested in interfaith and intercultural dialogue, media representatives, and policymakers from around the world, thus contributing simultaneously to academic, pedagogic, and civic goals. The goal of lunch will be to to present Islamopedia and elicit feedback from potential users, in order to improve upon the existing content and refining the site into an efficient and intuitive tool for easy access to premiere data and information on contemporary Islamic thinking.
