The Muslim World: Meta Narratives and the Way Forward
For centuries, scholars and thinkers have tried to explain why the Muslim world—once a beacon of scientific, cultural and political leadership—has experienced such profound decline. Competing theories point to colonial legacies, internal divisions, intellectual stagnation or economic dependency. But how do these meta-narratives shape the way Muslims see themselves and their place in the world?
More importantly, this session will address how the Muslim world can reclaim its agency, find the way forward and imagine a better future.
Join us as we question old assumptions and consider fresh possibilities for a path forward.
