How can teachers introduce Islam to students when daily media headlines can prejudice students' perception of the subject? Should Islam be taught differently in secular universities than in colleges with a clear faith-based mission? What are strategies for discussing Islam and violence without perpetuating stereotypes? The contributors of Teaching Islamic Studies in the Age of ISIS, Islamophobia, and the Internet address these challenges head-on and consider approaches to Islamic studies pedagogy, Islamophobia and violence, and suggestions for how to structure courses.

Islamic studies scholars, under suspicion by both Islamophobes and Muslims for not teaching "real Islam," walk a tightrope—between combating prejudice and critical inquiry—in their course instruction. Teaching Islamic Studies in the Age of ISIS provides no easy solutions, but much fodder for thought, as well as practical hands-on ideas to try.
