Peter Awn and Islamic Texts in the Core
In a 1994 speech at the Intercultural Resource Center, Professor of Religion and Lit Hum instructor Peter Awn called for the addition of Islamic texts to the Core syllabi. "The Core's reading list is distorted," Awn said. "It ignores one very important element, and that is the role that Islam has played fundamentally in the development of the European religious, intellectual and scientific tradition."
