Muslim Identities and Cultures Working Group

The MIC working group is interested in exploring Muslim identities and agencies from the standpoint of race, gender, nationalism, geopolitics and culture. By examining the intersections of culture and religion, the group will create a space where a variety of viewpoints can openly be discussed.

For Fall 2002, we focused on the impact of September 11 in shaping the agencies, lives and identities of Muslims in the United States and abroad, as well as the effect of catastrophes on the formation of Muslim Identities.
