Adi Saleem

Adi Saleem, an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan exploring race and religion, and Shanon Shah, a Visiting Research Fellow at King’s College London specializing in contemporary Islam, dive into their new book, 'Queer Muslims, Queer Jews.' They discuss the complexities of queer identities intersecting with faith and race, the impact of colonial legacies on gender, and the role of queer solidarity in socio-political conflicts. They also challenge prevailing narratives around anti-Semitism and emphasize the need for inclusivity in historical and future queer discourses.
