  • Mar 25, 2010 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm
  • Location: La Maison Française of NYU
  • Description: Institute of French Studies ColloquiumJOHN BOWENProfessor of Anthropology,Washington University, St. Louis; author of Can Islam Be French? Pluralism and Pragmatism in a Secularist State; Why the French Don’t Like HeadscarvesCan Islam be French?Pluralism and Pragmatism in a Secularist StateBowen examines how French Muslims are fashioning new Islamic institutions and developing new ways of reasoning and teaching. He looks at some of the quite distinct ways in which mosques have connected with broader social and political forces, how Islamic educational entrepreneurs have fashioned niches for new forms of schooling, and how major Islamic public actors have set out a specifically French approach to religious norms. He argues that the particular ways in which Muslims have settled in France, and in which France governs religions, have created incentives for Muslims to develop new, pragmatic ways of thinking about religious issues in French society.
