In this course, students learn various concepts and practices of wasatiyyat Islam as introduced by scholars and practiced within Indonesian societies. Students are trained to become familiar with wasatiyyat conceptually from the Qur’an, Hadis, and contemporary Islamic thinkers, as well as experiences in      Indonesia and other Muslim countries as exposed and managed by civil society exponents and the state. At the end of the lecture, students are expected to have in-depth knowledge of various concepts and their socio-religious and political use by state and non-state actors nationally and globally to respond to a globalized society challenged by the ramifications of violent extremism. The teaching method includes lectures, presentations, discussions, and assignments (paper writing), all summarized in class seminar activities.
