Mohammad Salama, George Mason University professor of Arabic, was recently appointed Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Professor Salama, who is a core faculty member of the AbuSulayman Center for Global Islamic Studies steering committee, previously served as department chair for Modern and Classical Languages.

The AbuSulayman Center for Global Islamic Studies Programs seeks application for the Dr. Jamal M. Al-Barzinji Graduate Research Fellowship. This Fellowship aims to provide funding for a student in a relevant Ph.D. program for up to five years. The fellowship recipient will specialize in a discipline or field of study appropriate to their chosen doctoral program with a secondary emphasis in Islamic studies.

The Center received a transformative gift in honor of the world-renowned Islamic Studies scholar and educator, Dr. AbdulHamid AbuSulayman, who passed away in August 2021. The Center has been renamed the AbuSulayman Center for Global Islamic Studies (photo by Risdon Photography).

BAMI will be housed at the AbuSulayman Center for Global Islamic Studies at George Mason University (ACGIS) and is funded through a special initiative under the Luce Foundation’s Religion and Theology program focused on Advancing Public Knowledge on Race, Justice, and Religion in America.
