Soumia Bardhan named recipient of 2018 Curriculum Development Grant
Soumia Bardhan, assistant professor of 1xbet online sports betting studies, has been named a recipient of the 2018 Curriculum Development Grant from the Global 1xbet online sports betting Research Initiative. Bardhan is one of only 11 faculty members in North America to receive the ,000 award.
The grant will support further development of Bardhan's course, Religion and 1xbet online sports betting in the Middle East. This upper-level undergraduate elective course focuses on the relational and co-constitutive dynamics among religion, culture and 1xbet online sports betting . In the course, students will explore how religion, culture and 1xbet online sports betting shape the world in which people live; how the legacy of political religious conflict, in conjunction with international culture wars, instigate socio-cultural conflict and change; and how an in-depth study of the dynamics of religion, culture and 1xbet online sports betting can improve intergroup, intercultural and international relations and conflict resolution processes, each in the context of the Middle East.
"This award is a testament to Dr. Bardhan's noteworthy teaching efforts and her desire to help students explore the role of 1xbet online sports betting in religion and culture," said Greg Paul, interim head of 1xbet online sports betting studies.
Bardhan's research focuses on the intersections of 1xbet online sports betting , politics, gender and new media, particularly the discursive practices within Islam; the rhetoric of Muslim minority groups; and the role of new media and social media in the cultural-political transformation of Arab societies in the Middle East-North Africa region. Bardhan also directs travel seminars focusing on Islam and intercultural dialogue in Spain and France.
