Global Muslim Politics in a Time of Culture Wars

This international public forum aims to both dispassionately analyze and constructively reimagine Muslim politics amidst polarizing culture wars in a rapidly changing global order. Panelists will share perspectives around the following questions:

• In the context of a shifting geopolitical order from unipolarity to multipolarity, what direction will political Islam take globally?

• What parallels are there between culture wars raging in Western societies and Muslim majority countries?

• How will the "Islam vs. the West" discourse be reshaped as the direction of history oscillates back from West to East?

Panelists:

• Eman Abdelhadi, Assistant Professor, University of Chicago
• Abdulrahman Malik, Associate Research Scholar and Lecturer in Islamic Studies, Yale Divinity School
• Walaa Quisay, Leverhulme Fellow, University of Edinburgh
• Emil Nasritdinov, Associate Professor, American University of Central Asia

Moderator:

• Peter Mandaville, Senior Advisor for Religion and Inclusive Societies, United States Institute of Peace
