Dr. Merve Kavakci-Islam - "Compassion in Action: My Life as a Muslim Woman Activist Scholar"

3rd Annual United For Change Conference - United We Stand: One Nation, One Destiny

In this timely lecture, Dr. Merve Kavakci draws on her vast experience as an elected Turkish parliamentarian, a student of the Qur'an and Islam, and a respected academic to look at the ways she has built a bridge between Islam and the West in her own life and how one may extrapolate from her experience to see the possibility of building a larger bridge between the two worlds she is able to harmonize so well. She highlights the motivational role compassion has played in her life.
