Muslim social scientists to meet Sept. 26-28
The Muslim presence in “the West” is thought to be a new, and to some, a troubling phenomenon. But what does the rapidly growing Western Muslim community really imply? What are the tensions between being a Muslim and being a Westerner? What impact can Muslims have on Western societies and policies?

The 32nd Association of Muslim Social Scientists will address these issues on the IU Bloomington campus Friday through Sunday, Sept. 26-28, with the theme “East Meets West: Understanding the Muslim Presence in Europe and North America.”

Organizers are hoping that presenters will bring innovative ideas that will be a benefit not only to academia, but also to those activists and policymakers seeking to better the lives of Muslims in the West and around the globe.
