Dr. Kameelah Mu’Min Oseguera’s talk “Interfaith Dynamics and Spiritual Diversity in Black/African American Communities,” draws on research and dialogue that she pioneered as part of “The Exploring Black Christian Views of American Muslims” research study, conducted by Muslim Wellness Foundation and The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding between March 2020 – June 2020. The purpose of this study was to gain insight and understanding into how Black Christian views of American Muslims views are formed, and to identify the impacts of these views on interracial, intraracial, and interfaith dialogues.
