In this episode, Nihal interviews the Muslim chaplains of Columbia and Yale Universities. They discuss how young people can learn to be confident on college campuses in the United States through a combined effort of companionship and knowledge. This episode was recorded last summer. Ebad(ur) Rahman is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Religion at Columbia. He completed his Ph.D. in the Religion Department at Columbia University in 2022. Ebad earned his B.A. from New York University, with a concentration on Islam in America, and studied in a four-year pilot seminary program in California. His research interests include Qur'anic Studies, Islamic thought in the 18th - 20th centuries, and Islam in America. Omer Bajwa serves as Director of Muslim Life in the Chaplain’s Office at Yale and has been engaged in religious service, inter-religious engagement and educational outreach since 2000. He earned his Graduate Certificate in Islamic Chaplaincy from Hartford Seminary, has an MA in Near Eastern Studies and an MS in Communication from Cornell University, and a BA from Binghamton University. His interests include Islam in the United States and the intersections of culture, media, politics and spirituality. He regularly lectures about these and other topics around the country. Additionally, Omer mentors contemporary Muslims on exploring their intellectual and spiritual lives in today’s world. He is a co-editor of the forthcoming book, “Mantle of Mercy: Islamic Chaplaincy in North America” by Templeton Press.
