Tuesday, November 17
10-11:30 AM CST (Chicago)
7-8:30 PM  Doha Time

Join us for a discussion of the history and contemporary resonance of race in the Muslim world. Panelists will address how processes of enslavement, colonialism, and contemporary prejudice in Muslim societies have racialized “non-white” Arabs and other Muslims, and perhaps even interiorized imported notions of white supremacy.

Co-sponsored by: The Middle East Studies Committee (NU-Qatar); Program of African Studies (NU); The Institute for the Study of Islamic Thought in Africa (NU-E); Middle East and North African Studies Program (NU).
