Read all about the research project in this manuscript which includes findings on the “multiple, hybrid, and racialized identities” of Canadian Muslim youth in the context of global conflicts and national belonging. In this article, five themes were identified based on focus group discussions with CMY, as well as policy recommendations from youth themselves.
What does it mean to be a Muslim youth in Canada?
