Dr. Sylvia Chan-Malik, from Rutgers University, will examine the history and presence of Islam in the US and the construction and evolution of US Muslim identity, community, and culture.
In your eyes, what does it mean to be Muslim? How has the media and popular culture influenced how you see Muslims and Islam? The incredible racial and ethnic heterogeneity of American Muslim communities; the myriad of ways that Muslims practice (or do not practice) Islam; and how “Muslim” intersects with racial/ethnic categories such as “Arab,” “Asian,” and “Black” will all be explored through an open, guided conversation with Dr. Sylvia Chan-Malik, Assistant Professor in the Departments of American and Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University.
