The CFE invites all faculty and staff to join us in reading Moustafa Bayoumi’s new book about what it means to be American in our current era.
Bayoumi explores issues of stereotype, government surveillance, and workplace discrimination in the lives of seven young Arab Americans.
If you are interested in joining a reading group, please let us know by February 28. We will provide a free copy of the book to all who join us. You may email us at cfe@ithaca.edu.
Then, please join us on Tuesday, March 27th 2018 at 7:00pm in Clark Lounge for a talk by the author, entitled:
"How Does It Feel to STILL Be a Problem? Being Young and Muslim Today"
Dr. Bayoumi’s talk will be part of the symposium on inclusion, cultural fluency, and global citizenship co-sponsored by the Minor in Muslim Cultures, The Center for Faculty Excellence, the Office of the Associate Provost for Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement, and the Office of International Programs and Extended Studies.
Dr. Bayoumi is an associate professor of English at Brooklyn College, the City University of New York, and is co-editor of The Edward Said Reader. His book, How Does it Feel to Be a Problem? Being Young and Arab in America (Penguin) is a winner of the American Book Award.
