The “Annual Imam Hussein Lecture on Social Justice,” established in 2022, features leading thinkers, scholars, activists, and cultural producers who draw on the Shia Muslim tradition to explore themes of social, economic, and political justice. Inspired by the life and sacrifice of Imam Hussein (upon whom be peace)—the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad and a timeless embodiment of justice, mercy, and compassion—this lecture calls us to reflect on the ongoing struggle against systems of oppression and exploitation in pursuit of a truly beloved community. This annual lecture is organized by the Muslim Leadership Lab at Dwight Hall with the Yale Chaplain’s Office Muslim Life Program.
