Experts to discuss Muslim tradition and theory of evolution at Boston University

The American Islamic Congress (AIC) and Project Nur will present the second panel event in their Science and Islam series at Boston University on October 24. Panelists will discuss the intersections and divergences of Muslim tradition with the theory of evolution.

The Science and Islam series is intended to create public awareness and discussion about the role of Muslims in science today and the contributions of Muslims to science throughout history. It also explores the relationship between personal belief on scientific thought. As impressive numbers of Muslims enter the STEM fields, and as the Muslim population around the world rapidly expands, it increasingly is important to understand the diverse ways in which scientific theories and questions are approached by Muslims.

WHAT: "Reconciling Muslim Tradition and the Theory of Evolution"

WHEN: 6:00PM, Wednesday, 24 October, 2012

WHERE: Boston University Photonics Center Colloquium Room, 8 St. Mary's Street, 9th Floor, Boston, MA 02215

WHO:

• Salman Hameed, Associate Professor of Integrated Sciences and Humanities at Hampshire College and Director of the Center for the Study of Science in Muslim Societies;

• Ehab Abouheif, Research Chair in Evolutionary Developmental Biology and Principal Investigator, Abouheif Lab, McGill University;

• Rana Dajani, Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology and Director, Centre for Studies, Hashemite University;

• Omar Sultan Haque, Postdoctoral Fellow, Psychology, Harvard University and Psychiatry and Law, Harvard Medical School, and Co-Director, UNESCO Chair in Bioethics, American Unit.
