Dialogic Episode 3: Ramadan

 

In this episode, we chat with Dr. Mairaj Syed about Ramadan, a holy month for practicing Muslims around the world that includes multiple festivities and rituals, including fasting. Dr. Syed discusses the significance of Ramadan to our own Aggie community and offers resources for Muslim students and faculty, as well as ways non-Muslim UC Davis members can help support their colleagues and students during Ramadan. Be sure to also tune in to this episode for some personal stories and anecdotes about celebrating this holiday in the U.S. versus abroad and to learn about the types of food that different cultures traditionally eat in order to break their fast.
