Maryam and the Clash of Civilizations

I speak about a recent keynote address that I gave at the Pacific Northeast Virtual Exchange conference where I connect my research on the Islamic Mary or Maraym to COIL Virtual Exchange.  Growing up in the 90s, there was a strong push for the "Clash of Civilizations" thesis, or that the "West" was in an intrinsic conflict with "Orient" and "Islam".  It was "Islam versus the West" or the "West versus the Rest".  Both my research and virtual exchange challenge this thesis and demonstrate that people from different regions of the world can learn from each other and mutually coexist.  Send me a text regarding your feedback, comments and questionsSubscribe to the Islamic Mary podcast which is available on the major podcast streaming services, such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.Order my new book The Islamic Mary: Maryam Through the Centuries Take my quiz on the Islamic Mary which is based on my research and teaching Visit my website to learn more about my bio, research, and blogs.Join my listserve to be updated about my research, speaking and publications, especially my book on the Islamic Mary.Thanks for listening to The Islamic Mary Podcast!
