12 April 2016, central London by Kings Cross station, 19:00-21:00 hours
Evening with Halima Begum, ex-Muslim feminist researcher and blogger. After a decade-long journey from Sunni and Shia Islam over Islamism to Secular Liberalism, Halima wrote a study on “British ex-Muslims: Negotiating the Essential and the Revolutionary”, which won the Best Dissertation Award at Birkbeck University in 2014. Halima plans to expand her research to incorporate a gendered experience of Ex-Muslim apostasy. Being a seasoned Ex-Muslim, Halima is keen to promote freedom of expression and uphold rights of personal autonomy. She hopes to share her journey and help others find the best way they can be true to themselves.
