His own particular speciality is the studyof Islam, focusing on contemporary Muslim societies in North America. He is also the President of the American Academy of Religion, and this brings us to the conversation today:This year, a state college, New College in Sarasota, Florida came under the microscope ofFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has an eye on becoming the next president of the United States, and who has a plan to transform New College, which is known as progressive and describes itself as “a community of free thinkers.”On Jan. 31, New College’s president Patricia Okker was ousted, and Gov.
