"At the GTU, pluralism is not only a topic for scholarship, but a method of practice, actively engaged through intercultural and interfaith study, dialogue and social action. I can’t think of a better environment to advance the study of Islam and the role of Muslims in public life.”
— Munir Jiwa, Director, Center for Islamic Studies
