Islam, Immigration, and European Integration:
In a modern world characterized by increasing interconnectedness and population mobility, questions of immigration and social integration loom larger than ever. Like America, Europe is struggling with its own complex set of challenges surrounding these issues. In his talk, Dr. Boudoudou will address how Islam and Muslims are caught up in the often fraught discourse and dynamics of European identity, immigration, and social and political integration.
