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.

IISS Book Workshop Series. Book Workshop with Professor Alexander Knysh (December 3, 2019 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68386 68386-17071657@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 3, 2019 6:30pm
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.

Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA)

For the past 10 years, the Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA) has come together to prepare for one special night every year: the Malaysian Cultural Night.
Free for all, people of all ages are welcome to spend their evening with a musical that delves into Malaysian art, culture and racial dynamics. Guests are also invited for a free dinner with some good Malaysian company after the show. This year, we present Kita.

Kita (Us)

Malaysian Cultural Night 2020 will follow the story of 4 Malaysian students who transferred to the University of Michigan, each with their unique background stories. The light hearted play will showcase unity among ethnically diverse people, and most importantly, the significance of true friendship. The characters will embody individuals that struggle with family expectations, finding their identities away from home, making friends all whilst adapting to a new culture in a new country. This play is highly relatable to students who are studying abroad, and it aims to realize the experience as well as to educate the non-Malaysian audience on our identity. MCN 2020 will also showcase a variety of traditional dances from different ethnic groups in Malaysia.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

In this talk, Los Angeles based artist Yasmine Diaz will speak about her experiences making work as an agnostic feminist of Muslim heritage in a post 9/11 era of xenophobia and anti-Muslim rhetoric. Her talk will center on a her 2017 piece, One Way or Another (college and hand-cut watercolor paper, 18 x 24)

Yasmine navigates overlapping tensions around religion, gender, and third-culture identity using personal archives, found imagery and various media on paper as well as installation. Born and raised in Chicago to parents who immigrated from the highlands of southern Yemen, her mixed media work often reflects personal histories of the opposing cultures she was raised within. She has exhibited and performed at spaces including the Brava Theater in San Francisco, the Torrance Art Museum, Charlie James Gallery, and Station Beirut. Diaz is a 2019 California Community Foundation Visual Artist Fellow with works included in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The University of California Los Angeles, and The Poetry Project Space in Berlin. She lives and works in Los Angeles.

A HISTORY OF RELIGION IN 5 1/2 OBJECTS: Spirituality Meets Sensuality
________________________________________
FRIDAY, MARCH 20
4:00-6:00pm
MICHIGAN LEAGUE
3rd Floor, Room D
________________________________________

Professor Plate takes a fresh and much-needed approach to religion. He
suggests that religious life and practice be understood as deriving from basic sensual experiences. Putting aside questions of belief and abstract ideas, he instead challenges us to begin with the incomplete human body, as he guides our focus toward five ordinary types of objects—stones, incense, drums, crosses, and bread.

His talk is based on his book, A History of Religion in 5 ½ Objects, which is a celebration of the materiality of religious life. Plate moves our understanding of religion away from the current obsessions with God, fundamentalism, and science— and toward the rich depths of this world, this body, these things. Religion, it turns out, has as much to do with our bodies as our beliefs. Maybe more.

A Presentation by S. BRENT PLATE
S. Brent Plate is a writer, editor, public speaker, and is an associate professor of religious studies, by special appointment, at Hamilton College. He is author/editor of fourteen books, including Religion and Film, and Blasphemy: Art that Offends. He is co-founder and managing editor of Material Religion: The Journal of Objects, Art, and Belief, and President of the Association for Religion and Intellectual Life/CrossCurrents.

CANCELLED - GISC Event. Muslims in the Digital Age: Podcasting & Illustration with Misha Euceph and Emmen Ahmed at the UMMA (March 26, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70264 70264-17556183@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 26, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Unfortunately and due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been cancelled. We will reschedule this event in Fall 2020.

Misha Euceph’s podcast “Tell Them, I Am” explored the lives of Muslims in the public eye. The LA Times called it “quietly revolutionary,” by the LA Times, the New York Times said it was “hypnotic listening,” and it is one of TIME’s 10 best podcasts of 2019. Emmen Ahmed created portrait pieces for each episode of “Tell Them, I Am.” Her artwork plays with traditional Mughal miniature paintings, Islamic art, the female form, and Bollywood imagery to hold a mirror up to the South Asian-Muslim-female experience in the West.

Join us on Thursday, March 26th at 4:00 PM in the UMMA Multi-purpose room to discuss how Muslims are defined and how they define themselves in the digital age.

From dissidents to villains to superheroes, how are Muslim characters written--and how does the public read them--in comic books today? This workshop explores the roles open to Muslim characters in serialized comics and graphic novels. The medium of serialized comics, commercialized in the twentieth century by mainstream comics publishers such as Marvel and DC, and epitomized by their respective superhero universes, has long been associated with a lack of racial and religious diversity, the sexualization of female characters, and a reader base that is stereotypically young, male, and white. Minority characters were often limited to tokenized villains or sidekicks designed for comic relief. But the contemporary young Muslim female superhero Ms. Marvel symbolizes a comics landscape that is changing. In the contexts of the Gulf Wars, 9/11, the Arab Spring, the Palestinian conflict, ongoing civil unrest in the Middle East, and worldwide refugee migrant crises, writers and artists from the Muslim and Arab worlds, and others writing journalistically and historically about those locales, are at the forefront of graphic medium literary production.

Graphic novels and comics by and about Muslims and Arabs comprise a growing and distinctive narrative strain within comics studies—one that this workshop of comics and Muslim and Arab Studies artists and scholars seeks to investigate.

Keynote speaker and Eisner Award-winning comics artist and science fiction and fantasy author Saladin Ahmed (*Throne of the Crescent Moon*, *Miles Morales: Spider-Man*, *Black Bolt*, *Exiles*) will speak about his new work for Marvel and other enterprises.

Chris Gavaler (*On the Origin of Superheroes: From the Big Bang to Action Comics No. 1*, 2015) explores the Islamicist history of the 20th-century superhero.

Esra Mirze Santesso (*Disorientation: Muslim Identity in Contemporary Anglophone Literature*, 2013) discusses human rights discourse in narratives of war and dissidence in Iran and Kashmir.

Karla Mallette (*European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean*, 2010) reports on resistance to Muslim and other minority identity politics from some comics readers.

Aliyah Khan (*Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean*, 2020) examines orientalist representations of Muslim female superheroes.

The presenters bring postcolonial, decolonial, comics studies, and historicizing methodologies to bear on understanding commonalities and differences among Islamic, Muslim, and Arab graphic narratives, reading them as transnational works that, as many of their subjects do, cross borders and resist authoritarian states.


Cosponsored by: The Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, The Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum, Middle East Studies, and Arab and Muslim American Studies

The International Institute's Islamophobia Working Group and the Muslim Students' Association have transformed our planned in-person Ramadan iftars into completely remote events and resources! Our website (http://bit.ly/ramadan-umich) contains information, activities, and programming, including “Zoom Into Ramadan” gatherings every Monday and Thursday from 7-7:30pm during the month of Ramadan (approximately April 23 to May 23, 2020). As with our in-person iftars, the programming is open to all, both Muslims and non-Muslims. We hope that our iftars and allyship initiatives will establish an enduring tradition of community and inclusion, creating a model for other universities and inspiring similar community educational initiatives during the holidays of other U-M religious minorities.
