Aloha! Have you checked our new website lately?
Visit our new website at msaphawaii.org for a full listing of events, opportunities, and resources related to the study of Muslim communities throughout the Asia Pacific region.
MSAP seeks to serve as a national resource center for academics
and the
general public seeking information on Muslim societies in Asia and the
Pacific. In our newsletters we try
to reflect a diversity of topics, issues, and themes
relevant to the program's overall focus. Enjoy this week's offerings!
Mahalo,
Program Coordinators
Muslim Societies in Asia and the Pacific Changes...
The School of Pacific & Asian Studies and the
Center for Southeast Asian Studies would like to acknowledge Nezia Azmi
for her tremendous contribution to the creation and development of MSAP
over the past two years. Nezia finished her MA and graduated (with
honors!) last week. Aside from her tireless program development work, she was responsible for creating and maintaining
this weekly announcement, and for building the new web site that will
serve as the foundation for MSAP well into the future. She
now moves on to greater things. Our humble thanks falls far short of adequately honoring her amazing contribution to MSAP. Imua, Nez! With MSAP so well nurtured and strengthened over the past
two years, we are now pleased to introduce Cecilia Noble who has joined
the staff to maintain the program through the summer. Cecilia is currently a PhD candidate in the
Department of Sociology. She has done extensive research on the Muslims of Mindanao with a focus on Bangsamoro ethnic identity. Welcome, Cecilia!
