The Casablanca School on Pluralism, Education and Political Liberties
9-14 July, 2018
Fondation du Roi Abdul-Aziz
Rue du Corail, Ain Diab – Casablanca, Morocco
The Casablanca School combines an educational workshop targeting young scholars, researchers, journalists and media professionals together with an international conference addressing the broader public.
The Seminars’ core topic is the reawakening of Islamic pluralistic traditions. This is addressed by using critical tools provided by the social sciences — from domestic law to theology, and from political philosophy to sociology, anthropology and history. Comparative cases are also discussed — especially within contexts that share the same religious background, as well as contexts that once held similar backgrounds before turning to secular / liberal models.
The School focuses on the multiple historical, theological, social, philosophical and legal-constitutional dimensions of the complex and constantly evolving relationships between religion and politics in societies around the Mediterranean. Special attention is paid to the role played by education – and that of religious education in particular – in the historical evolution of this relationship. Within this thematic framework, the main objective is to trace the diverse historical conditions behind the formation, perpetuation and transformation of related concepts and ideas.
