There has been little research or policy analysis about the ways Muslims in America engage politically and civically, and about how recent laws, policies and social pressures have affected their civic and political engagement. We are inviting scholars and policymakers to speak at this conference on this and other topics. We believe this conference is among the first to look at the Muslim American experience from the standpoint of rights, political participation and relations with the state.
