Jews, Christians and Muslims in Europe: Modern Challenges

This three-part e-learning course has been developed by the Woolf Institute (Cambridge) and focuses on the relationships between Jews, Christians and Muslims and their impact in modern Europe, looking at their history, culture and issues of citizenship.

Is there more to Jewish history in Europe than the Holocaust? Is the presence of Muslims in Europe a new phenomenon spanning only the last few decades? How have Jews, Christians and Muslims influenced European culture? Is constructive coexistence possible? On this course students will be encouraged to address challenging questions, some easier to answer than others, through case studies and set reading.

The course is taught at a final-year undergraduate level and the e-learning approach allows you to study wherever and whenever you choose via the internet. With the support of Woolf Institute tutors, you will work both individually and jointly with other students.

History module: 14 November–9 December 2011
Culture module: 2 January–27 January 2012
