The Center hosted the first international conference on Islam and the Media January 7-10, 2010 on the Boulder campus.  A new website is under construction where major plenary panels, a complete program and individual panel sessions will be available online.

The events of September 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.
