VIRTUAL

Celebrate Islamic Heritage Month with Waterloo Public Library and the Coalition of Muslim Women.

Join historian Hassam Munir for an informative ‘Lunch and Learn’ event as he talks about the history of Muslims in Canada (Hint: Muslims have been part of this country longer than you may think!)

Hassam Munir is pursuing an MA in History at the University of Toronto. His public history work (blogging/writing, giving presentations and curating exhibits), centered on the iHistory multimedia project, focuses primarily on the history of Muslims in Canada. He has previously worked with the Ontario Historical Society and was recognized by Heritage Toronto as an Emerging Historian in 2017. He has a professional background in journalism and public relations as well, and is currently PR Manager at Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research.

This program is presented in partnership with the Coalition of Muslim Women.

Registrants will receive an e-mail 24 hours before the start of the program with an invitation to join.
