Research Project Presentation
Topic
Topic: Ethnic Pockets: Students should gather statistics in their community about the ethnic diversity in their city wide masajid. For example: How many Ethiopians, Arabs, Pakistanis, etc attend each masjid? Are there any masajid that are overwhelmingly full of only one ethnicity? Students should then asses what caused the population distribution in the masajad. Did the different ethnic pockets just occur out of coincidence, is that just where the populations just happened to settle, or is there a reason behind the diversification and ethnic distributions of the masajid. Students should then examine the activities that promote diversity in one of the masajid. Suggest what can be done to improve these projects, along with suggestions on other projects that the masjid could take on to promote diversity. Develop a proposal to be given to the masjid that includes these suggestions.
