This event has been cancelled due to the emergency reduction in operations on January 30 & 31, 2019. We are working on rescheduling this important event.

This panel will discuss the situation faced by the Uyghurs, a Muslim minority group living in northwestern China. Since early 2018, media reports, NGOs, and eyewitness accounts have documented that up to one million Uyghurs and members of other Muslim groups have been detained and interned in "re-education camps" by the Chinese government. This discussion will give an overview of the current situation, how it developed, and what may happen in the future. A Q&A will follow.

Media surrounding the Middle East does not speak for its youth. And youth make up 65% of the region's population. That's 140M people between the ages of 15-35 who are largely rejecting the traditional media of their parents' generation because of its political nature.

Kerning Cultures is the premier Middle East podcast network, quoted by The Guardian as "This American Life for the Middle East." Kerning Cultures is partnering with the University of Michigan to give Middle Eastern-American students & allies the opportunity to share their experiences, learn about the current state of Middle Eastern media representation, and how they can make an impact.

On Tuesday, February 12th, 2019, The University of Michigan Global Islamic Studies Center will be hosting a Kerning Cultures listening party in 1010 Weiser Hall. We will listen to a Kerning Cultures episode and discuss it into the night with their Marketing Lead, Bella Ibrahim.

The event is free and open to the public, RSVP at http://myumi.ch/J9DzE. Light refreshments will be provided.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event, please reach out to islamicstudies@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

The Author's Forum Presents "The Praiseworthy One: The Prophet Muhammad in Islamic Texts and Images": A Conversation with Christiane Gruber and Juan Cole (March 20, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58123 58123-14426748@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 20, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

Christiane Gruber (history of art) and Juan Cole (history) discuss Gruber's new book "The Praiseworthy One," which aims to bring back into scholarly and public discussion the ‘lost’ history of imagining the Prophet in Islamic cultures.

About the book:
In the wake of controversies over printing or displaying images of the Prophet Muhammad, Christiane Gruber’s aim is to bring back into scholarly and public discussion the ‘lost’ history of imagining the Prophet in Islamic cultures. By studying the various verbal and visual constructions of the Prophet’s character and persona over the course of more than one thousand years, Gruber seeks to correct public misconceptions and restore to Islam its rich artistic heritage, illuminating the critical role Muhammad has played in Muslim constructions of self and community at different times and in various cultural contexts.

The Praiseworthy One is an exploration of the Prophet Muhammad’s significance in Muslim life and thought from the beginning of Islam to today. It pays particular attention to procedures of narration, veneration, and sacralization. Gruber stresses that a fruitful approach to extant textual and visual materials is one that emphasizes the harnessing of Muhammad’s persona as a larger metaphor to explain both past and present historical events, to build and delineate a sense of community, and to help individuals conceive of and communicate with the realm of the sacred. The Praiseworthy One shows that Muhammad has served as a polyvalent symbol rather than a historical figure with fixed significance.

Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS). Al-Ghazālī and the Foundations of Medieval Islamic Ontology, Epistemology, and Scientific Inquiry (March 27, 2019 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61478 61478-15114926@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2019 5:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Medieval Muslim scientists trace most of their foundational ontological and epistemological underpinnings to Al-Ghazālī’s (1058-1111 CE) contribution in bridging the gap between scholastic theology (kalām) and scientific inquiry and experimentation. In doing so, Al-Ghazālī draws on two related subdomains: philology and exegesis. This talk sheds some light on Al-Ghazālī's holistic rational view which informed Medieval Islamic ontology, epistemology, and the scientific method, falling at the nexus of language, scholastic theology, Qur’anic hermeneutics, and the philosophy of science. Al-Ghazālī’s thought has implications for positivism and post-positivism, including the rejection of the behavioral psychology view of knowing and learning through mere habituation.

Mohammad T. Alhawary is Professor of Arabic Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition. In addition to his research in applied linguistics, his interests lie in the Medieval Arabic grammatical tradition and its interactions with neighboring disciplines such as exegesis, jurisprudence, philosophy, and scholastic theology.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Please join the Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS) for a lively discussion with Professor Juan Cole about his most recent book, "Muhammad: Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires," which discuses the Prophet Muhammad's origin story in the seventh-century. Cole shows how Muhammad came of age in an era of unparalleled violence. The religion Muhammad founded, Islam, spread widely during his lifetime, relying on soft power instead of military might, and sought armistices even when militarily attacked. Cole sheds light on this forgotten history, reminding us that in the Qur'an, the legacy of that spiritual message endures.

We will be providing free copies of the book to fifteen graduate students and researchers. Please RSVP using this link: https://goo.gl/forms/Wrz6CvVeqB9iArqz2.

Africa Workshop “How to get away with blasphemy: the politics of religious offense in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania”. (April 16, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59214 59214-14717519@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 16, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

On April 27, 2012, Birame Abeid, a renowned Mauritanian activist planned carefully and executed the public burning of several books of Islamic jurisprudence. Nearly two years later,​ ​in December 2014, Muhamed Mkhaitir, a blogger claiming to speak for the community of “blacksmiths”, published a lengthy text in which he accuses the Prophet Muhammad himself of “favoritism." Both offenders claimed afterwards they only wanted to denounce the ways in which the local elite has been consistently using Islam and Sharia to sanction the oppression/marginalization of former slaves and other occupational groups. In so doing, these human rights activists have indeed thrown their country, a self-proclaimed Islamic Republic, into an uproar. As they no doubt must have expected, their unprecedented religious offenses sparked nationwide protests. With few exceptions, almost all political figures and religious elites campaigned for their execution for “apostasy” in accordance with the (Islamic) law of the land. Yet, despite being promptly arrested and thrown in jail, the two “defendants” were ultimately able to essentially get away with blasphemy. In this presentation, I draw on a treasure trove of qualitative data collected on the field over several years in order to demonstrate that, at least in this context, what is at stake in these "blasphemy controversies” has less to do with the usual tension between secular criticism and religious censure and more to do with ongoing public negotiations over what it means to be Muslims amid heated political debates over race, gender, social hierarchies, belonging, citizenship and inequality. Shifting the focus away from the usual framing of blasphemy accusations in terms of conflict between religious freedom and Islamic taboos, I offer a detailed comparative account of these two “cases” in order to go beyond the notion that “outdated, medieval blasphemy laws” illustrate the so-called stand-off between Islam and liberal democratic values.”

Zekeriah Ould Ahmed Salem is Associate Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University and Director of The Institute for the Study of Islamic Thought in Africa in the Program of African Studies. He specializes in Islam and Muslim Politics in Africa in comparative perspective. His research engages contemporary academic debates regarding religion and politics, especially the interplay in contemporary African societies of a variety of issues such as: the state, religious authority, race, social hierarchies, identity politics, Islamic knowledge and political power. Ahmed Salem secondary research interests include everyday negotiations over citizenship, bureaucratization and the Institutionalization of the state in Africa.

He is the author of: Prêcher dans le Desert: Islam, Politique et Changement Social en Mauritanie (published by Karthala, Paris, in 2013, with an English translation forthcoming as Preaching in the Desert: Islam, Politics and Social Change in Mauritania) and the editor of: Trajectoires d’un Etat-Frontière. Espaces, Evolutions Politiqiues et Transformations Sociales en Mauritanie (Dakar, Council for The Development of Social Research In Africa, Book Series: 2004).
His research appeared in numerous book chapters. His journal articles are published in : The Journal of North African Studies, Canadian Journal of African Studies, Nomadic Peoples, Cahiers d’études africaines, Islam et Sociétés au Sud du Sahara, Politique Africaine, Annuaire de l’Afrique du Nord, L’Ouest Saharien….

Latinx & Muslim in America (October 9, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67741 67741-16926552@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 9, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS)

In honor of Latinx Heritage History Month, the Arab and Muslim American Studies Program has invited Dr. Harold D. Morales to give a lecture based on his book, Latino and Muslim in America: Race, Religion, and the Making of a New Minority, which is the first complete academic study on Latinx Muslims in the United States.

Dinner will be served!

Dr. Harold D. Morales is an Associate Professor in the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Morgan State University where he teaches courses in religious studies and philosophy of religion. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of California Riverside and his B.A. in Philosophy from California State University Fullerton. His research focuses on the intersections between race and religion and between lived and mediated religion. He uses these critical lenses to engage Latinx religions in general and Latino Muslim groups in particular. He is the author of Latino and Muslim in America: Race, Religion, and the Making of a New Minority (2018). His work with Latino Muslim communities spans ten years of media analysis and ethnographic research in California, Texas, Georgia, Florida, New York and New Jersey.

"Latino and Muslim in America examines how so called "minority groups" are made, fragmented, and struggle for recognition in the U.S.A. The U.S. is currently poised to become the first nation whose collective minorities will outnumber the dominant population, and Latinos play no small role inthis world changing demographic shift. Even as many people view Latinos and Muslims as growing threats, Latino Muslims celebrate their intersecting identities both in their daily lives and in their mediated representations online.In this book, Harold Morales follows the lives of several Latino Muslim leaders from the 1970's to the present, and their efforts to organize and unify nationally in order to solidify the new identity group's place within the public sphere. Based on four years of ethnography, media analysis andhistorical research, Morales demonstrates how the phenomenon of Latinos converting to Islam emerges from distinctive immigration patterns and laws, urban spaces, and new media technologies that have increasingly brought Latinos and Muslims in to contact with one another. He explains this growingcommunity as part of the mass exodus out of the Catholic Church, the digitization of religion, and the growth of Islam. Latino and Muslim in America explores the racialization of religion, the framing of religious conversion experiences, the dissemination of post-colonial histories, and thedevelopment of Latino Muslim networks, to show that the categories of race, religion, and media are becoming inextricably entwined."

Why President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel prejudiced its character and status (November 19, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69261 69261-17275358@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 19, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Jeffries Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move the U.S. embassy to the city has been universally condemned, as it is contrary to a well-established rule of international law stipulating that states must not recognize the fruits of conquest. While the United States chose to exercise its right of veto in the UN Security Council to block a resolution criticizing the presidential decision, the remaining members of the council, including close U.S. allies, criticized it. Similarly, the UN General Assembly, the European Union, the Arab League, and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation have all passed strongly worded resolutions saying that they would not recognize any changes to the pre-1967 borders, including in and around Jerusalem. This talk examines the legal standing of the U.S. decision in light of previous positions that the United States has historically adopted or endorsed.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

IISS is pleased to announce our first book workshop of the semester with Prof. Alexander Knysh on his most recent book Sufism: A New History of Islamic Mysticism. Prof. Knysh's new monograph explores the history and intellectual vicissitudes of Islamic mystical and philosophical thought in historical perspective. The distinctive aspect of the New History is a comparative element, which is present in almost all of its six chapters: Muslim approaches to Sufism are compared with Orientalist ones, while Sufi discourses are contrasted with Neoplatonic, Jewish and Christian traditions. This groundbreaking monograph is critical not only for understanding the complex phenomenon that is Sufism, but also for gaining insight into the significant methodological issues of modern historiography.
