Su'ad Abdul Khabeer holds a PhD from Princeton University. She is currently the Anthropology and African America Studies programs at Purdue University. She is a scholar-artist-activist who uses anthropology and performance to explore the intersections of race and popular culture.
This talk examines the creative sartorial practices of American Muslim Men, and particularly Black Muslim men, who are increasingly using the aesthetic of Black Dandyism to signify on white supremacy as well as the ethno-religious hegemonies within US Muslim communities.
