Dr. Talal Yousuf Al-Awadhi Chair of Committee Asst. Dean for Undergraduate Studies 1. About the College Throughout history the mission of universities has been to facilitate the intellectual advancement of society and the development of culture and the arts. In this spirit, the College of Arts and Social Sciences at SQU mirrors the past heritage, presents character, and fulfills future aspirations of Omani society. Because of its importance to the culture of the country, the College regularly reviews its programs so as to meet the rapidly changing needs of the society. Since the University was first established, the College of Arts and Social Sciences has provided its students with studies that draw upon the knowledge of both past and present civilizations. These studies, which range from the literary to the technical and scientific, have given Omani students the knowledge and skills to develop themselves both personally and professionally. The College of Arts and Social Sciences was officially inaugurated in 1987, one year after the inception of the University. In its first year, the College offered only introductory courses. By the beginning of the following year, however, the first cohort of students was assigned to the different departments of the College: Arabic Language and Literature, English Language and Literature, History, Geography, Philosophy, Sociology, Communication and Journalism, and Information and Library Science. New departments were subsequently established in the College: Theatrical Arts in 1991, Archeology in 1993, and Tourism in 2001, Music and Musicology in 2008, in addition two programs, one in translation in the Department of English and another in a social work in the Department of Sociology in 2001. In October 1993, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said inaugurated the present building that houses the College. The different departments in the College feature modern facilities that are supplied with the equipment needed in educational and research processes. These include labs for computers, electronic publications, children’s literature, photography, language teaching and phonetics. There are also radio and television studios. The College has a library which provides students and faculty staff with resources and references related to their fields. 2.

  • A Critical Reconstruction of Modern Urban Settlement Patterns in Muscat and Al Batinah Based on Military Maps
    Research Collection Journal Article A Critical Reconstruction of Modern Urban Settlement Patterns in Muscat and Al Batinah Based on Military Maps Author(s): Richthofen, Aurel von Publication Date: 2018-01-26 Permanent Link: https://doi.org/10.3929/ethz-b-000290644 Rights / License: In Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Permitted This page was generated automatically upon download from the ETH Zurich Research Collection.

ETH Library A Critical Reconstruction of Modern Urban Settlement Patterns in Muscat and Al Bāţinah based on Military Maps Aurel von Richthofen ABSTRACT Urbanisation in Oman started shortly after 1970. The process of urbanisation changed the land-use and settlement patterns in Oman and in particular in Muscat Capital Area. Modern urban geography and urban planning in Oman emerged in the 1980s when the ‘rational’ Llewelyn-Davies plan of 1981 became the guiding planning framework. The main conceptual strategies and spatial imagination of the territory remained un-questioned in all subsequent plans and strategies up to the present Oman National Spatial Strategy. This article argues that the limited means of spatial representation of urban planners and geographers in the 1980s also limited the conceptualisation of the urban development strategies. These relied essentially on conventional aerial photography whereas the military already used systematic satellite imagery. US and Soviet military maps based on satellite images have been disclosed at the end of the Cold War and are now accessible. The evaluation of maps produced between 1943 and 1975 allows to reconstruct earlier settlement patterns preceding the 1980s. Hundreds of pre-existing settlement cores integrated hydrographic, topographic and agricultural features across the region of Muscat and Al Bāţinah.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 bLOSiL ZZLL d ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the external and internal influences on the process of state formation in Oman since 1920 and places this process in comparative perspective with the other states of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It considers the extent to which the concepts of informal empire and collaboration are useful in analysing the relationship between Oman, Britain and the United States. The theoretical framework is the historical materialist paradigm of International Relations. State formation in Oman since 1920 is examined in a historical narrative structured by three themes: (1) the international context of Western involvement, (2) the development of Western strategic interests in Oman and (3) their economic, social and political impact on Oman.

Awarded the Order of HM Sultan Qaboos for Culture, Science and Art (1st Class) in 2007. Preface In 2004, I was requested to give a lecture in Muscat to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Oman-Japan Friendship Association, sponsored jointly by the Oman-Japan Friendship Association, Muscat Municipality, the Historical Association of Oman and the Embassy of Japan. It was an unexpected honour for me to be given such an opportunity. The subject of the lecture was “History of Exchange between Japan and Oman”. After I had started on my preparation, I learned that there was no significant literature on this subject. I searched for materials from scratch. I then organized the materials relating to the history of human exchange, the development of trade since the Meiji period (1868-1912) and the cultural exchanges between both countries.
