Immigration and Islam


This program will examine questions such as: What impact do Muslim immigrants and Islamic practices have on the societies they join? What unique challenges do Muslim immigrants face? How do Western nations promote self-perceived openness in the face of anti-Muslim sentiment in their countries? Featuring Jose Casanova, Professor of Sociology at Georgetown University and a Senior Fellow in Georgetown's Berkeley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs; Tariq Modood, Professor of Sociology at the University of Bristol and Director of the University’s Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship; and Aristide Zolberg, Walter P. Eberstadt Professor of Political Science at The New School University. Chase Robinson, Provost of the Graduate Center, will moderate the discussion. Co-sponsored by the Middle East and Middle Eastern American Center at the Graduate Center
