Workshop Researching Muslim America Americans

项目摘要

The increasing size and political relevancy of the Muslim population in the U.S. stands in stark contrast to the trivial amount of quality data describing their political attitudes and behavior. As a first step in planning and conducting a large-N, in-depth, multilingual survey of this understudied community, a full day workshop will bring together a diverse set of participants including faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates. Workshop participants will summarize and discuss the current state of knowledge about Muslims Americans and coordinate next steps. Participants will include faculty and graduate students who currently study Muslim Americans or who are interested in doing so. Gathering researchers together to promote collaboration and discuss recent research will 1) encourage scholars to work in this area, 2) ensure that future efforts to better understand Muslim Americans are inclusive of a broad range of research questions and hypotheses, and 3) facilitate cooperation and coordination among scholars (including graduate students). The networking of scholars, including the mentoring of junior scholars and students by senior faculty, will strengthen the diversity and quality of future scholarship and the profession.The Workshop will address several important topics in the studying of members of ethnic and/or religious groups. These include issues of identity, effects of discrimination and media coverage, political behavior, and political attitude. In addition, it will help to develop a research agenda for scholars studying these groups include a national survey. Finally, the workshop will increase synergies between faculty and graduate students of diverse backgrounds, which will in turn develop networks and collaborations.

美国穆斯林人口日益增长的规模和政治相关性，与描述他们的政治态度和行为的少量高质量数据形成了鲜明对比。作为规划和实施对这个未被研究的社区进行大规模、深入、多语言调查的第一步，一个全天的研讨会将把包括教师、研究生和本科生在内的不同参与者聚集在一起。研讨会参与者将总结和讨论对穆斯林、美国人的了解现状，并协调下一步行动。参与者将包括目前研究穆斯林美国人或有兴趣研究穆斯林美国人的教师和研究生。将研究人员聚集在一起促进合作和讨论最近的研究将1)鼓励学者在这一领域工作，2)确保未来更好地理解穆斯林美国人的努力包括一系列广泛的研究问题和假设，3)促进学者(包括研究生)之间的合作和协调。学者之间的联系，包括高级教师对初级学者和学生的指导，将加强未来学术和专业的多样性和质量。讲习班将讨论研究族裔和/或宗教群体成员的几个重要主题。这些问题包括身份问题、歧视和媒体报道的影响、政治行为和政治态度。此外，它还将有助于为研究这些群体的学者制定研究议程，其中包括一项全国性的调查。最后，研讨会将增加不同背景的教师和研究生之间的协同效应，这反过来将发展网络和合作。
