Join us for the annual Sheikh Lecture with Dr. Shenila Khoja-Moolji, associate professor and Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani Endowed Chair of Muslim Societies at Georgetown University as she discusses the displacements of Shia Ismaili Muslim communities in the twentieth century and women's critical role in remaking their communities.

The Sheikh Lecture Series is open to the campus community and the public. The Sheikh Lecture series promotes cultural awareness, tolerance, and understanding while countering Islamophobia. It honors the late Hajja Razia Sharif Sheikh (1920–1989), a devout woman committed to higher education and respecting all cultures, creeds, and religions.
