Advancing Critical Education of Muslim Students and Scholars: Social Justice Research in Community

Thu, April 9, 2:15 to 3:45pm PDT (2:15 to 3:45pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 304B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

As a community of critical Muslim education researchers, we recognize the necessity of creating intentional spaces to construct a new vision of scholarship as acts of resistance against education spaces that seek to erase and marginalize Muslim students and educators. Despite state education policies from conservative, religious groups that falsely claim to protect religious liberty, schools are increasingly more secular and fail to acknowledge the identities and practices of Muslim students (Author, 2025). Our research finds that Muslim students and scholars face persistent inequities in schools at the intersections of racialized bias, religious discrimination, and the repression of social justice advocacy. This symposium ensures that Muslim education experiences are not forgotten and imagines bold futures rooted in equity and justice.
