Event Details

What is the relationship of race and religion? How has Islam been

racialized? And, in what ways do American Muslims navigate competing

ideologies of race, racialization, and Islamophobia? In this public panel,

leading scholars of American Islam, Dr. Kambiz GhaneaBassiri (Carleton

College, Religious Studies) and Dr. Yasmine Flodin-Ali (Religious Studies,

University of Pittsburgh), will discuss how American Muslims have

negotiated conceptions of race and religion historically and still today.

This event is co-sponsored by the Macalester College Racial Justice

Project, the Macalester Religious Studies Department, and the

University of Minnesota’s Religious Studies Program. Contact Brittany
