“Interest in magic and mysterious events has increased”

The program is directed by Prof. Dr. Emily Selove stated that there has been an increase in interest in magic and occultism in recent years.

Selove expressed the view that the program will help reconsider the assumption that while rationalism and science come to the fore in the West, the rest of the world is driven by magic and beliefs.

Pointing out that the program is not far from hotly debated topics today, Selove said, “Decolonization, exploration of alternative theories of knowledge, feminism and anti-racism are at the center of this program.” said.

Answering the question of why the program is located at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, Selove said, “By hosting this degree at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, we acknowledge the deep debt of Western culture and science to the Arab-Islamic world; this history is a unique part of the West.” It has been erased in creating our false picture of being somehow rational.” made his assessment.
