Course format and participants
The IGEI is run in a seminar format and consists of lectures, presentations, and group discussions. Readings are assigned before arrival, with time allotted for additional reading and consultations with resource persons.
The course is designed for a maximum of 30 participants, and a minimum of two resource persons and two facilitators, one from the local context. A needs analysis will be conducted to shape the final design of the course to meet the needs and priorities of participants.
By the end of the course, IWILAP hopes that participants will be able to come to an understanding of the ‘traditional’ and ‘patriarchal’ modes of knowledge production in the Islamic legal tradition; be introduced to egalitarian, reformist modes of knowledge production; and develop arguments and strategies to advance a rights-based approach in their own contexts that is also grounded in Islam.
