The “Duty of a Preacher”: The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s Approach to Integral Human Development in Ghana
POSTPONED until a later date:
Presented by Dr. Misbah Hyder, Postdoctoral Fellow, Kaneb Center | Notre Dame Learning
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a globally persecuted and marginalized community that is committed to its practice of tabligh [outreach], which includes its missionary and humanitarian work. This talk will present initial findings from field research on the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Ghana, a unique space where Ahmadis are socially and politically influential, and specifically unpack this statement from a non-Ahmadi Imam in Ghana: “[the Ahmadiyya] taught us that it is not only the duty of the preacher to convert people to Islam. But it is up to us to be concerned about his well-being, how to survive as a human being in this world…before you can think about the hereafter.” How does the Ahmadiyya centralize considerations about human dignity when practicing tabligh? And furthermore, how does the community’s global persecution and marginalization impact its commitment to humanity’s well-being?…

Articulating a Jewish Solidarity with Palestine: Antisemitism, Antiracism and Palestinian Rights
Discussion with Lesley Williams
It is commonly believed that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is as old as Isaac and Ishmael. But what if that isn't true? What if you learned that the conflict is a legacy of European colonialism and that many Jews express solidarity with Palestinians? Join Lesley Williams who will talk about this legacy, her activism, and how specific definitions of antisemitism effect this work. Williams is a member of the coordinating committee for Jewish Voice for Peace in Chicago, the advisory board and Speakers Bureau for Jews Against Anti-Muslim Racism, and a founding member of Tzedek Chicago, a non-Zionist, pro social justice synagogue in Chicago.
