“Remembering Karbala Through Communal Care”, by Shereen Yousuf

Shereen Yousuf is a doctoral candidate in the Rhetoric, Politics and Culture program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research explores how Muslim communities in the U.S. draw from their faith and community knowledge to make sense of the social/political climate in the U.S., and how this informs Muslim-based activism. Prior to moving to Madison, Shereen was an adjunct instructor of intercultural communication, and was heavily involved in the Jafari Shia community in the Chicago-land area. She is currently working with the Shia Racial Justice Coalition to develop an anti-racism curriculum that specifically caters to Jafari Shia Muslim communities in the U.S. for her doctoral dissertation, bridging together her passions for decolonial theorizing, pedagogy, and liberatory community-based practices.
