Join this virtual talk and Q&A with Nura Sediqe Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Political Science and faculty in the Muslim Studies Program at Michigan State University.
With the rise in the #uncommitted movement among the voting public, this lecture will examine American Muslims’ political preferences, exploring the ways that sub-groups, such as Black Muslims and Arab Muslims, make electoral decisions.
Dr. Nura Sedige’s research is on political behavior, specialized in race and ethnicity, gender, and Black politics. Her public policy work focuses on civil rights policy, immigrants and New Americans in American politics, and Afghan refugee resettlement.
Hosted by the Islamic Studies Program. Co-sponsored by the Office of the Dean, College of Liberal Arts & Education; Department of Political Science; African American Studies Program; and Department of Religious Studies.
