Just in case you missed it, last week we held a virtual symposium with Francesca Albanese and Elizabeth Ferris in a discussion on 'International Protection for the Palestinian People.' Albanese and Ferris discussed the limitations implicit in current paradigms that privilege negotiations, political implications of calling for international protection, the importance of centering settler colonialism in the analysis, and more. This event was moderated by Edmund Ghareeb.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed in 2015, in hopes of moving Iran's domestic and foreign policies in a moderate and reformist direction. However, while Iran completed its commitments, the United States failed to lift sanctions, actually imposing new sanctions under different pretexts. This further emboldened JCPOA oppositionists to further undermine the JCPOA.

Description:

A Zoom discussion on the essays from "Black Muslim Portraiture in the Modern Atlantic", The Muslim World Journal - Special Issue

These conversations focus on five Black art figures of Muslim heritage: (1) Ayuba Suleiman Diallo (2) Yarrow Mamout, (3) Joseph Cinqué (4) Omar Ibn Sayyid and (5) The Bashi-Bazouk. They offer various interpretations, but this is precisely the reason this conversation is so vital. Then there's the fact that these images are all of men and Black people, allowing us to question the male bias and racial assumptions in modern visual culture.

The fourth installment of an ongoing series of conversations on “Critical Muslim Studies” feature panelists Ahmed Afzal, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, and contributing faculty in the Department of Asian American Studies at California State University, Fullerton; Mujahid Osman, PhD Student at Emory University, and Hadeth Rassol MA Student, York University in Torontowith moderator Neda Maghbouleh.Canada Research Chair in Migration, Race, and Identity and Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto Mississauga and St. George campuses
