OHIO’s National Resource Centers Awarded SSRC Grant
Projects to promote public understanding of Islam in Africa and Southeast Asia

Polls show that Americans are deeply concerned about Islam, but know comparatively little about the religion, often mistakenly connecting the religion with negative stereotypes. For the vast majority Americans, what they know about Islam they learned from the media.

Ohio University’s African Studies and Southeast Asian Studies National Resource Centers have been awarded a joint two-year Social Science Research Council grant to develop a series of media events that will draw attention to reform and progress in the contemporary Muslim world. The goal of the project is to increase public understanding of the religion and the diversity of viewpoints that can be considered “Muslim.”
