Muslims in Muncie

Description:	An hour-long documentary film that traces a half-century of Muslims community building in Muncie, Indiana, from the 1960s to 2018, as told by community members. The film draws on oral history interviews with twenty-two Muslims who represent a dozen nations of origin and are diverse in race, ethnicity, sect, gender, age, and profession. Students in the immersive learning seminar “Muslims in Muncie,” funded through the Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry, conducted this first oral history and film project with Muncie’s Muslim community in Spring 2018. Dr. Elizabeth Agnew, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Ball State University, directed the project in partnership with the Islamic Center of Muncie and Ball State University’s Center for Middletown Studies.; Elizabeth N.
