Understanding the global diversity of Muslim communities is increasingly important as Islam becomes a priority subject for international education. The presenters at this session, five scholars affiliated with area studies centers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , will offer introductions to Muslim populations in Africa and the Americas , Eastern and Western Europe , and South and Southeast Asia.
