History Speaks EP10 | Between Worlds: Muslim Women and Campus Life | Roshan Iqbal with Shabana Mir
In this episode of History Speaks, I talk with Dr. Shabana Mir,
Associate Professor of Anthropology at American Islamic College and
author of the award-winning book Muslim American Women on Campus.
Drawing from rich ethnographic research, Dr. Mir explores how Muslim
women navigate elite U.S. university spaces while negotiating the
pressures of visibility, belonging, and religious identity. We discuss
everything from drinking culture and modesty to dating, politics, and
what it means to be unapologetically Muslim in a space that often
demands compromise. Our conversation is framed by a larger question:
what does it mean to belong when your presence is always marked? And
what can a win like Zohran Mamdani’s tell us about shifting narratives
in American public life?
