Muslim Women Scholar Series

One of CCMW's strategic goals is to promote critical thinking among Muslims and non-Muslims to challenge stereotypes and assumptions about Islam, Muslim women and their families. One way of doing this is to feature the work of contemporary Muslim women scholars focusing on diverse topics related to Muslim women.

Join us on Thursday January 22nd at 7:30pm ET for our next Muslim Women Scholars Series seminar. Titled ‘Contesting Islam, Constructing Race and Sexuality: The Inordinate Desire of the West’ with Sunera Thobani.
