Kennen Sie schon … die Plattform Khamseen?

Kham­seen: Islam­ic Art His­to­ry Online is a free and open-access online plat­form of dig­i­tal resources to aid the teach­ing of Islam­ic art, archi­tec­ture, and visu­al cul­ture.

Kham­seen cur­rent­ly offers a col­lec­tion of short-form video pre­sen­ta­tions on a range of top­ics in the schol­ar­ly dis­ci­pline of Islam­ic art his­to­ry.
These pre­sen­ta­tions are intend­ed to sup­port edu­ca­tors, par­tic­u­lar­ly those who face lim­it­ed access to insti­tu­tion­al and archival resources.

The project also aims to bring new voic­es, per­spec­tives, method­olo­gies, art­works, and objects into class­rooms. Besides cater­ing to under­grad­u­ate and grad­u­ate stu­dents, the mate­ri­als pro­vid­ed here are also intend­ed to help edu­cate and inspire inter­est­ed audi­ences out­side of acad­e­mia.

It is spon­sored by the Dig­i­tal Islam­ic Stud­ies Cur­ricu­lum (DISC) at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Michi­gan through the sup­port of The Andrew W. Mel­lon Foun­da­tion.
