Makassar, 1 December 2025 — The Department of English Language and Literature (Bahasa dan Sastra Inggris/BSI), UIN Alauddin Makassar, successfully held an International Lecture Series and Focus Group Discussion themed “Global Muslim Literature.” The academic event, attended enthusiastically by BSI students, provided a dynamic forum for exploring contemporary Muslim literary studies within a global context.

The program featured two distinguished speakers, as presented on the event’s official poster: Prof. Danielle Haque from Minnesota State University and Dr. Hasnul Insari Djohar from UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Both speakers delivered insightful presentations on emerging discourses in Muslim literature, cross-cultural narratives, and the evolving role of literary scholarship in understanding global Muslim identities.
