Use Kanopy from Simpson Library

Kanopy is one of the databases we have access to from the library. Here is a list of documentaries, lectures, or lecture series that have to do with Islam, particularly in our time line.

I recommend The Great Courses videos the most; they have been invaluable to me with every history class I have taken. I cannot recommend them enough. They’re easy to understand, have lots of visuals, are often even entertaining, and so convenient since you can watch them anywhere!

Log in to the library before clicking on the links below so they will take you to the correct page instead of to Kanopy’s login page.

IF the links 404 on you, go to Kanopy and put in the search bar the words after the last forward slash in the URL. Example:

For the first URL below, type in the search box on Kanopy, “turning points middle eastern history.”
