Join IOC in hosting Pulitzer Prize Winner Andrea Elliott of the New York Times for a keynote lecture on "Muslims in the US: Between Rejection, Assimilation, and Integration."
Andrea Elliott is among the most distinguished chroniclers of Muslim life in America. Her penetrating, deeply-observed stories in The New York Times have brought international attention to the plight of Muslims in a post-9/11 America. Gaining unparalleled access to the nation's Muslim communities, Elliott's stories have explored the travails of a young Egyptian imam in Brooklyn, the challenges of Muslim men and women serving in the American military and the simmering conflicts between Muslim immigrants and African-American converts to Islam. In her work overseas, Elliott has broken new ground in the study of terrorism, illuminating how young Muslim men are being drawn into the violent jihad against the West.
You can read her Pulitzer Prize winning articles on her New York Times Profile Page.
