Research Making an Impact
The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a non-profit research and education institution, has collected and published research on Americans who are Muslim for nearly 20 years. That research provides the bedrock and context for these online courses, created by ReligionandPublicLife.org and supplemented by a collection of resources from other institutions and scholars.
The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding equips professionals with solution-seeking research in cultivating their understanding of the legal and political challenges faced by American Muslims. Many of these challenges arise as a result of the current geopolitical climate and widespread misinformation and misunderstanding. Anti-Muslim sentiment and targeted policies that infringe on personal and religious freedom are the new normal. Learn to apply ISPU’s public policy research and examine the structural barriers that hinder the American Muslim community from full inclusion and participation. The sources and exercises provide people with an accurate understanding of American Muslim communities, equipping them to build and sustain allyship and identifying common challenges and solutions.
We promote full and equitable inclusion with solution-seeking research
