Mellon Sawyer Seminar

We are delighted to host the 2009-10 Mellon Sawyer Seminar entitled Diversity and Conformity in Muslim Societies: Historical Coexistence and Contemporary Struggles. Funded by the Mellon Foundation, the Seminar has three main components: bi-weekly meetings with area scholars, three international conferences: Gender, Minorities and Constitutions (December 4-5, 2009); Nationalists and Salafis (February 5-6, 2010), Sacred Spaces, Sacred Sounds (April 23-24, 2010); and a graduate/advanced undergraduate course.

All of the Sawyer Seminar's meetings and the conferences are free and open to the public. We welcome the participation of the academic community. For complete information on this Mellon Sawyer Seminar, please visit http://cgi.unc.edu/research/mellon-sawyer/09-10/about.php
