The third Research Unplugged of the fall season featured Gabeba Baderoon on "Islam in Africa: How Gender, Race and Slavery Shaped Muslim Life in South Africa." Baderoon--a poet and assistant professor of Women's Studies and African and African-American Studies-- opened the discussion with a captivating reading of her poem "A Prospect of Beauty and Unjustness," which was inspired by her hometown of Cape Town. Baderoon elaborated, "The city is extraordinarily God-given in its beauty, but it has a painful history." For more information, see http://www.rps.psu.edu/unplugged/fall09/October28.html`
