Impact of Arab Spring on Terrorism and Democratization in the Middle East
June 4 - 9, 2012
A 3-credit intensive 4000-level course to develop knowledge of the religious, social, cultural and political roots of terrorism in the Muslim context, providing balanced frameworks in which to explore the current trend towards democratic transitions in the Arab World, and the ascension of political Islam to power as a result of the Arab Spring. Students will be taught in person by Prof. Abdalla, who is returning by popular demand, either in the TV classroom or online - with senior level assignments and expectations - but no prerequisite required. The course runs from June 4-9, with assignments to be completed by Monday, July 23, 2012. This course can also be audited for a Certificate of Completion from Global College; in order to register to audit click here.

WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL OF GLOBAL COLLEGE
What is Global College all about?
At Global College we are creating space and time for dialogue - in classrooms and in communities, on campus and online - with local, national and international participants.
At Global College we strive to provide students, faculty, staff, visiting scholars, dignitaries, and community representatives with a place to interact to share their diverse perspectives about global citizenship, human rights, and other issues affecting our planet.
We welcome members of institutes of learning, governments and civil society - including the business community. All are invited to dialogue and encouraged to take action through a range of initiatives, for example: what does it take to build a human rights city?
Global College is an action-oriented, multi-disciplinary forum for Canadian and international students bringing students and community members into contact with local faculty, visiting scholars, local leaders and notable speakers from around the world to discover their role within the local and global community, our responsibility to protect and responsibility to act.
Students - of any age - who are committed to obtaining an interdisciplinary education organized around questions of social justice, global citizenship, and human rights are welcome to: explore our new thematic major in Human Rights and Global Studies in the regular academic year; engage with any of the seven active Institutes of Global College, each headed by University of Winnipeg faculty, offering teach-ins, symposia, conferences, and lectures, as well as condensed intensive credit courses taught by visiting scholars and our faculty - usually for one-time only - in Global College Spring and Summer Institutes.
