The session on the Islamization of Knowledge was chaired by Charles Butterworth of the University of Maryland, and included the following: 1) Mona Abul-Fadl of the International Institute of Islamic Thought in Herndon, VA, who spoke on "The Islamization of Knowledge Interpreted: A Muslim Intellectual Response to Modernity"; 2) Tamara Sann of St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY, who addressed the theme of"Islamic Historicism in Context"; and 3) Theodore P.
