[CID followers are invited to an event organized by Maria Hussain]
“Hello! I would like to personally invite you to an exciting event that I am leading in collaboration with Leeds City Museum, Muslims in the North. This pioneering display is underpinned by my LITE research. This display focuses on the significant contributions of Muslims in the fields of Commerce, Healthcare, Law, and Research in the North. You will be inspired by the impactful stories of notable figures including: Nazir Afzal, OBE (former Chief Crown Prosecutor of NW England); (our very own)Professor Ghazala Mir (Chair in Health Equity and Inclusion); Dr Mumtaz Patel (Consultant Nephrologist, RCP VP Education and Training, Associate Dean PG NHS England) and Mohsin and Zubair Issa, CBE (Joint Owners of Asda and Co-Founders of EG Group). The launch promises to be a celebration of the trailblazing contributions of Muslims in the North.
This dissemination project is in collaboration with Leeds University Cultural Institute and Shames Maskeen, Leeds Trinity University. The event has kindly been sponsored by Leeds University Business School.
Where and when: 6th March, 16.00-18.00; Broderick Hall (first floor), Leeds City Museum, Millenium Square, Leeds, LS2 8BH
A light (halal) buffet will be served with vegetarian and vegan options available. Come and hear the amazing untold stories of our trailblazing Northern Muslims talent!
