In this episode, I talk to Khadijah Elshayyal, author of the book Muslim Identity Politics (2018). We talk about recommending grad school to other Muslims in current academic job market, resisting being *that Muslim that studies Muslim stuff, being taught misinformation about Islam by religious studies professor, the impact of colonialism on Muslim populations in UK, imposition of compliance and integration by British government, self-censorship in a climate of suspicion, fear of Shariah takeover, equality gap, grassroots activism, and much more.
