We are thrilled to host our first #ISPUcafe twitter discussion! ISPU Director of Research Dalia Mogahed and Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) Executive Director Yusufi Vali will discuss how ISBCC successfully navigated the aftermath of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

Questions for our experts will include: How should a mosque prepare before a crisis hits? What are some of the challenges with how the media reports in times of crisis? Why is it important to protect Muslim leaders who are under attack in the media?

To follow (and join!) the conversation, please follow ISPU on Twitter.
