Congratulations to Feminist Law Prof Madhavi Sunder of University of California, Davis, who was recently named as a Carnegie Scholar by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. According to the Carnegie Corporation’s press release, each of the twenty Carnegie Scholars will study issues “relating to Islam and the modern world . . . . The goal of the Corporation’s new emphasis on Islam is to encourage the development and expansion of the study of Islam within the United States and to stimulate research on which to help build a body of thoughtful and original scholarship.” Professor Sunder’s project is, “The New Enlightenment: How Muslim Women are Bringing Religion and Culture Out of the Dark Ages.”
