Harvard Urged to Confront Islamism as a Subject of Study

Original: Islamism, the Subject We Still Avoid at Harvard

A Harvard Crimson opinion piece argues that Islamism remains a topic academics and students at Harvard avoid, despite its importance to understanding politics, terrorism and the Middle East. The author contends that fear of controversy and accusations of bias have stifled serious campus debate on political Islam, and calls for open scholarly engagement with the subject.

Why now: Renewed global debate over political Islam and campus speech norms is prompting calls for universities to address the topic more directly.
