EVENT: OSU-Tulsa Feminine Voice of Islam: Muslim Women in America
DATE: Sept. 20
Current statistics estimate between five and eight million Muslims call America their home, making the U.S. the most ethnically diverse nation in the world.
Yet the American public knows little about how these immigrants live, think and view women’s rights - a reality that isolates these women in their own communities.
Oklahoma State University-Tulsa professor Dr. Najwa Raouda will explore the struggles and triumphs of Muslim women in America during a presentation on Saturday, Sept. 20 at 2 p.m. in North Hall 140.
Following the presentation, Raouda will sign copies of her book, “The Feminine Voice of Islam: Muslim Women in America.” Raouda teaches OSU courses on Arabic language and culture, the American experience in Iraq, global and cultural Islam and immigration in the U.S.
The event is free and open to the public. OSU-Tulsa is located at 700 N. Greenwood Ave., near I-244 and Detroit Ave. To learn more, visit www.osu-tulsa.okstate.edu or call 918-594-8000.
