Exploring Native American and Indigenous Muslim Stories

In 2021, ISPU welcomed Brennan McDaniel to the ISPU team as the primary investigator for a new study, Exploring Native American and Indigenous Muslim Stories (NAIMS). In today's episode of Deep Dives with ISPU, Brennan shares the importance of exploring the vital and too little-known stories of Native American and Indigenous Muslims, and where this project is heading. He is interviewed by ISPU's Director of Communications, Katherine Coplen.

Brennan is a PhD student in the American Studies department at Yale University. He received an MA from Columbia University in 2019 and a BA from Vassar College in 2017. Brennan’s work is nested primarily between Islamic Studies and Native American/Indigenous Studies, and his research interests revolve around histories of ideas, emotions, and political economies among Muslim communities and tribal nations in North America.
