  • Summary

  • Growing up as a Muslim in America comes with its own challenges.


    For Assistant Dean for Religion and Public Life at Harvard Divinity School, Hussein Rashid, that struggle lies at the center of his work on modern day pop culture and its representations of Islam.


    In this raw and candid conversation, Simran and Hussein discuss different forms of Islamic practice and growing up code-switching, with multicultural identities in a religiously diverse society.


    And most importantly, we’ll hear how recognizing the beauty in our spiritual traditions and embodying their wisdom can create a more just and compassionate world.
