A New Center for the Study of Science in Muslim Societies at Hampshire College

As he states in the announcement:

There is an increasingly urgent need for understanding and education about Islam and Muslim societies. This is perhaps the only center focused on examination of intersections and interactions between science and Muslim societies, both in Muslim-majority countries and in Muslim diasporas in the West. It will bring together scholars working across disciplines on a significant set of questions and issues. ...
This relationship with science is complex, and increasingly so, as science is freighted with issues of colonialism, modernity, and progress, as well as moral and religious implications.

Regular readers of this blog will be familiar with Salman Hammed, who writes his own blog and has been studying how Muslims perceive evolution and the relationship between science and religion.
