The Center for Media, Religion and Culture and the Center for Asian Studies at the University of Colorado-Boulder are organizing a panel discussion this evening entitled, "Islam: An American Experience" at the Colorado Law School, Room 204. The event is part of the Muslims in the Mountain West Project, a mapping research initiative funded by the Social Science Research Council in New York. I'll be moderating the discussion and we'll talk primarily about the history of Muslims/Islam in America, and particularly in the Rocky Mountains region. We've got a great lineup of panelists and you can read more about this in the flyer below and read an article in the Daily Camera today (there are some mistakes in the article. The project and the trailer for the documentary we're showing tonight are about Muslims in the Mountain West, not the Midwest, and I'm not American). Hope to see many of you who live in the area.
I was born and raised in Morocco. My research focuses on the intersections between Islam, Arab popular culture and the media. I'm currently an assistant professor in the School of Journalism at the University of Colorado-Boulder.
