The center hosted the first international conference on Islam and the Media January 7-10, 2010 at the University of Colorado Boulder. The events of Sept. 11, 2001 have unleashed an unprecedented period of global re-thinking of issues in media and religion. Islam has emerged as a major focus of inquiry and debate, but the interaction between contemporary Islam and the media has rarely been addressed. This conference thus engaged a set of questions on the place of Islam within global, regional, national and local media.
