  • The Academic Study of Hadith in North America Universities Fatma Betül Altıntaş
    The Academic Study of Hadith in North America Universities Fatma Betül Altıntaş Abstract Scholarly interest in Islamic studies has increased over the last decade. The academic study of Islam in North America emerged from Orientalism; after World War II it gave way to area studies and, in the mid-twentieth century, started to be addressed as a sep - arate research area. However, the subfield of Hadith studies remains neglected. In comparison to its role and the approach at modern ac - ademic institutions in the Muslim world, Hadith studies in North American universities seem to have received attention mainly in terms of this body of literature’s authenticity. This paper uses qualitative research methods to provide an overview of the historical and contemporary academic study of this subfield and examine the space allocated to it within the broader Islamic studies curriculum. Examining and analyzing its legacy and current state in the academy will help us clarify the general acceptance of this subfield within those institutions. Introduction The majority of Muslims accept Hadith as the second source of Islamic leg - islation. As such, it has been studied for many centuries in the Islamic world and for nearly 1,000 years in the West. Examining and analyzing this legacy Fatma Betül Altıntaş is a research assistant and doctoral candidate who fouses on the “Prob - lems and Limitations of Historical Criticism Applied to Islamic Narrations” at the Faculty of Theology/Hadith Department, Erciyes University. She earned her MA in Hadith studies at Erciyes University (2012) with her award-winning thesis “Very Weak Hadiths in Hanafi and Shafi‘i Fiqh Books: The Example of al-Hidâya and al-Sharh al-Kabîr.” Her research interests include the relationship between Hadith and fiqh , historical criticism and Hadith studies, and Islam and gender equality.

  • Gloucester County Public Schools
    Special Education Transition Portfolio Gloucester County Public Schools The Special Education Transition Portfolio The Special Education Transition Portfolio and accompanying resources have been created to provide educators the tools necessary to successfully prepare a transition plan for students from school to community. With each activity, teachers provide students the opportunity to identify their likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, and goals. In turn, this will foster within a student a sense of independence and confidence concerning who they are now and what they want to do with their life after graduation. In addition, this portfolio will provide the student’s parents with hands-on examples of the transition activities their children have been participating in each school year beginning in 7th grade. This is a valuable tool for opening the lines of communication between school and home and a method to get meaningful input from parents regarding transition goals for their student.

    A Look at the Dulles Corridor 1 The Dulles Corridor • Home to several of the Washington metropolitan region’s most dynamic and rapidly growing activity centers. • Includes a variety of residential communities, office complexes, retail centers and a mix of educational, recreational and leisure facilities anchored on the west by Washington Dulles International Airport and on the east by Tysons Corner. Tysons Corner Center “The draw of Tysons — its plum location between Washington and Dulles, the major highways cutting through it — has made it endlessly marketable to businesses despite the suburban gridlock,” Time Magazine. Dulles International Airport 2 Dulles and Route 28 • “In 1980, the Dulles and Route 28 corridors were less than 4% of the entire metro area’s economy. Today, they are nearly 25% of the total. Evolution of the Dulles Corridor can be considered in three phases. From 1962 until the parallel toll lanes opened in 1984, the Dulles Corridor was only used for airport access. Creation of the initial Toll Road marked the second phase. Evolution into phase three with rail will fully integrate the Dulles Corridor into the region’s transit system.” -Washington Airports Task Force 3 Quality of Life in Fairfax County • Over the past 40 years, 1970 to 2010, Fairfax County has grown by 600,000 people and 530,000 jobs • 2013: 1,130,924 lived in Fairfax County • 2015: 625,658 employed in Fairfax County • Money Magazine named Reston, the Sully and Wiehle-Reston East Metro Station Hunter Mill areas, and Burke of Fairfax County among its top

We, the American Sociological Association (ASA), acknowledge that academic institutions, indeed the nation-state itself, was founded upon and continues to enact exclusions and erasures of Indigenous Peoples. This acknowledgement demonstrates a commitment to beginning the process of working to dismantle ongoing legacies of settler colonialism, and to recognize the hundreds of Indigenous Nations who continue to resist, live, and uphold their sacred relations across their lands. We also pay our respect to Indigenous elders past, present, and future and to those who have stewarded this land throughout the generations.
