SERIES Muslim Representation in Entertainment: Reclaiming Media Narrative

Kicking off this month’s Muslim Representation in Entertainment series is scholar Dr. Maytha AlHassen. We explore the historical origins of the most common Muslim tropes, discuss the findings of recent studies done on movies that negatively depict Muslims, and discuss how we can counter them. You may even hear some hints about what’s coming next on a popular TV series that Dr. AlHassen co-produces.  Links:Learn more about Dr. AlHassen’s work: https://www.mayalhassen.com/Haqq and Hollywood: Illuminating 100 Years of Muslim Tropes and How to Transform Them: https://popcollab.org/learning/haqq-and-hollywood/Muslim Narrative Change Cohort: https://pillarsfund.org/culture-change/muslim-narrative-change-cohort/#:~:text=In%20January%202020%2C%20we%20launched,behaviors%20and%2C%20ultimately%2C%20society 4.     Missing & Maligned: The Reality of Muslims in Popular Global Movies: https://assets.uscannenberg.org/docs/aii-muslim-rep-global-film-2021-06-09.pdf 5.    The Blueprint for Muslim Inclusion: https://pillarsfund.org/content/uploads/2021/06/SOURCE-The-Muslim-Blueprint.pdf Web: www.mommyingwhilemuslim.comEmail: [email protected]: Mommying While Muslim page and Mommyingwhilemuslim groupIG: @mommyingwhilemuslimpodcastDid you know you can send us a text?
