The Study

Register your interest

The original 2014 study — 257 American female converts to Islam — was a beginning, not an end. The expanded study will welcome a broader community: male converts, converts outside the United States, and those who have left Islam after converting.

The study is not currently open for active participation, but doctoral research is in preparation. If you would like to be notified when the expanded study launches, use the contact form below and mention your interest. Your voice belongs in this portrait.

Participation will be entirely anonymous. No identifying information will be collected at any point.
