Welcome to Qalam & Culture, The Podcast
Welcome to Qalam & Culture. I'm Sabrina, a former journalist currently pursuing my master's degree in Middle East and Islamic Studies with a Secondary Graduate Certificate in Women and Gender Studies. My research interests, focus on race, culture, history and the the influence of religious beliefs on contemporary politics. Through this podcast I hope to make complex topics accessible and challenge the narratives that have long dominated our understanding about topics at the intersection of history, religion, and politics. Join me as we explore and unravel the threads to better understand the world and reimagine it. I'm so glad you're here.Support the show
