Digging into the history of Islam in America, students at Louisiana University will have the opportunity to get better information about Islam and Muslims in a five-week series of readings and discussions.

“Islam is the world’s second largest religion, so when it goes through a period of internal revision it affects more than just its own adherents,” Dr. Ahmad Nazir Atassi, a Tech assistant professor of history, told Shreveport Times.

The Muslim professor was speaking about a new program planned by Louisiana Tech’s department of history to discuss the Muslim experience in America.

The program titled, “Let’s Talk About It: Muslim Journeys,” will be divided into five sessions, each scheduled for a Tuesday evening during October.

Atassi, serving as facilitator and discussion leader, noted that the program would begin at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1 and continue every Tuesday evening until Oct. 29.

Accompanied by appropriate readings, session topics will include women and gender in American Islam.

The program will also tackled American Muslims from the 18th Century to World War I, American Muslims since World War I, cultural encounters and cultural integration, and American Muslim politics between identity and 9/11.

The course is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association.

It is also a part of the Readings in Literature and Culture (RELIC) program of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities.

Louisiana Tech is one of 840 educational and cultural institutions selected nationally to present the series.
