Description :
Each year the Islamic Studies Program along with Sustained Dialogue at University of Nebraska-Omaha holds two community conversations facilitated by leading scholars in the field of Islamic Studies. These events are intended to stimulate dialogue between local Muslims and broader Omaha metropolitan community. The project not only educates audiences about the Muslim experience in the United States but also builds bridges between Muslims and the broader community through providing meaningful interactions among diverse groups in the Omaha metropolitan community.
