The Daily News reports on a study by TC faculty member Louis Cristillo, which shows, among other things, that Muslim students in New York City are more likely to get attacked for their religion on the street, in stores and in restaurants than in the city's public schools. Preliminary results of the study were released last year.

Last month the School Library Journal blog "Nonfiction Matters," published a post, "Alert: How Does Your School Present Islam to Students?" quoting Sandhya Nankani, who was hired by Louis Cristillo, an assistant research professor at TC, to develop a curriculum guide for TC Student Press Initiative's volume of Muslim youth oral histories, "This is Where I Need to Be," published last spring. On Thursday, Nankani writes in "Nonfiction Matters" as a guest blogger with "Great Resources on Islam, and Being a Young Muslim in America."

TC Faculty member Dolores Perin was a recent guest on The Brian Lehrer Show (WNYC), where she discussed the difficulties that many adolescents in New York City public schools have in learning to read.

The work of TC faculty member Louis Cristillo on the post-9/11 experiences of Muslim students in New York City public schools is the focus of a story in the Web-based publication Islam Online. The story also quotes TC Noura Badawi, a TC alumna who teaches in Schenectady, New York, and mentions This Is Where I Need to Be: Oral Histories of Muslim Youth in NYC, an anthology of oral histories of 23 Muslim public school students compiled and written by 12 of the Muslim teenagers who participated in Cristillo's study. The volume was created under the aegis of TC's Student Press Initiative, and will be used as a teaching tool in public school classrooms along with a teacher's guidebook that will be published in the spring.
