Arabic Minor

This minor introduces the field of Arabic stud- ies, and offers training in the Arabic language and in the close reading of texts— including poetry, literature, philosophy, theoretical writ- ings, essays, and film—with attention to prob- lems of translation, the history of disciplines, and the formation of institutions. It teaches students to read cultural objects, practices, texts, and institutions as active sites of trans- lation, negotiation, contestation, and invention.
