We will explore how the religious tradition of the hijab is viewed within as well as outside Arabic culture. We are using candid interviews, music, news, and media sources to discuss and explore the beliefs, misconceptions, burdens, and responsibilities attached to wearing a hijab in today's society. This interactive presentation will allow everyone to share their point of view. Participants will walk away with an understanding of how Arabs are dealing with international disagreements concerning the hijab.
