Mission, Vision and Purpose
CME studies Muslim experience as part of American life. We create scholarship, preserve memory, support students, and build public understanding across communities.
Why CME Exists
Muslims are part of the American social, cultural, political, and intellectual fabric. Yet public knowledge about Muslim life is often shaped by suspicion, crisis, foreignness, or stereotypes. CME exists to change that frame by producing knowledge rooted in lived experience, historical depth, and public responsibility.
