She is the Program Director for the Justice Leaders Fellowship Program at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (ICJS) in Baltimore and the Lead Historian and Archivist for the Howard Thurman Historical home in Daytona Beach, Florida and Washington, D.C. Dr. Fanusie has taught the course, \u201cAfrican Americans and the Development of Islam in America\u201d at Hopkins.<\/p>\r\n
Several of Dr. Fanusie\u2019s forthcoming articles are based off her dissertation research, \u201cFard Muhammad in Historical Context: An Islamic Thread in the American Religious and Cultural Quilt,\u201d which traces the development of Islam in America during the first half of the twentieth century through an exploration of the Indian Ahmadiyya missionary movement and an examination of the Nation of Islam within a comparative Islamic framework. Two separate book length projects examine the relationship of bebop and jazz musicians to the spiritual and cultural transformations African Americans underwent from the end of World War II until the present and the influence of India on the 20th century religious thought and liberation practice of African Americans. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>"],"ecpt_cv":[""],"_ecpt_cv":["field_61e0871dac8e2"],"cv_file":[""],"_cv_file":["field_61e088d12999e"],"ecpt_job_abstract":[""],"_ecpt_job_abstract":["field_61e0873bac8e3"],"abstract_file":[""],"_abstract_file":["field_61e088f52999f"],"ecpt_email":["ffanusi1@jhu.edu"],"ecpt_publications":["
