Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC)
The Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC) coordinates Islamic Studies courses between University of Michigan, University of Illinois, Indiana University, University of Maryland, Michigan State University, University of Nebraska, Northwestern University, Ohio State University, Pennsylvania, Purdue University, and Rutgers through the Big Ten Academic Alliance CourseShare program. Our courses are taught by Islamic studies experts via synchronous videoconferencing technology and provide a unique opportunity to engage with students at other campuses. DISC is funded by the Mellon Foundation and is housed at the University of Michigan’s Global Islamic Studies Center, a member of the International Institute.
The EU Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign serves as the focal point on campus for teaching, research, and outreach on Europe and the European Union. Our sponsored projects, affiliated faculty, academic programs, and outreach and public engagement activities foreground interdisciplinary, inclusive, and international perspectives on issues impacting Europe as a geographic and cultural space over time.
Since its establishment as an Experimental University Centre in Vincennes in 1969, and its relocation to Saint-Denis in 1980, Paris 8 University has become a leading centre for the study of humanities education and research in Île-de-France. Specialising in the Arts, Literature, Human and Social Sciences, Paris 8 University has always strived to give students the best possible understanding of the contemporary world while providing them with everything they need to secure meaningful long-lasting roles in society. The innovative nature of the University’s courses reflects its history of offering pioneering new fields of study hitherto rarely seen in French academia, such as psychoanalysis, geopolitics, cinema, visual arts, gender studies, Black studies, etc.
TransCrit (Transferts Critiques anglophones) is a research unit which brings together specialists in literature, history, civilization, translation studies and linguistics, whose main field of research is the English-speaking world. TransCrit is resolutely open to interdisciplinarity in the field of humanities not only because of its vocation to federate all the disciplines of Anglistics at Paris 8 University, but also because of its multiple collaborations with researchers and research centers working on other cultures, other literatures, and other disciplines in articulation with the English-speaking world.
