Queens Hillel is proud to announce that Irshad Manji will be coming to speak on Sunday, March 7th, 2004 at 8pm.

Ms. Manji is currently touring Canada lecturing on the topic of Israel, Islam and Diversity. You may be familiar with her as the host of TVOntario's "Big Ideas" as well as the Senior Producer of Citytv's Gemini award-winning "QueerTelevision". Macleans Magazine called Ms. Manji One of "100 Canadians to watch" and Ms. Magazine describe her as the, "Feminist of the 21st century". Ms. Manji is a highly respected author and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to hear her speak. She is best known for her #1 bestseller, The Trouble with Islam: A Wake-up call for Honesty and Change. Ms. Manji believes very strongly in diversity and as such we would like promote diversity amongst the people supporting her. Irshad is very adamant that her platform is one of diversity and we must respect her approach.

This is why we need your help! We are looking for a wide range of sponsors to help endorse Ms. Manji's platform of diversity. The sponsorship is a great opportunity to endorse a project for your respective clubs and departments and is free from any financial obligation. The clubs and departments that wish to help us morally support Ms. Manji will be acknowledged on all advertisements and we can guarantee each group five reserved seats at her lecture. Irshad's lecture on March 7th is relevant to broad range of groups and individuals. She will be discussing the role of women, queers, politics, history, etc in the Middle East. We invite anyone with interest to help us support Ms. Manji and help make her time at Queens both pleasurable and successful. I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
