Summary:
The Sarajevo450 Project grew out of a transformative Fulbright experience at the Faculty of Islamic Sciences in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I confronted my ignorance and assumptions that had been fed by the media's narrow portrayal of Jewish and Muslim relationships. The purpose of the Sarajevo450 Project is to disrupt these assumptions and tell a longer, more accurate historical narrative about the historical relationships between people who hold these traditions dear.
