Muslimah Williams Reveals Results of Burqa Experiment
Psychology major Muslimah Williams conducted a study titled "The Truth behind the Veil: Investigating Religious Prejudice in America" and will reveal her findings at the April 11, 11:45 a.m. URCA poster session in the Convocation Center's Alumni Room. With faculty sponsor Dr. Mitchell Metzger (Psychology), Muslimah tested the hypothesis that individuals will exhibit more negative attitudes when faced with a woman wearing a burqa (head-covering exposing only the eyes) compared to a woman in western-style clothing.
