- Jim Hoesterey from the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Michigan delivers a talk titled, Building the Islamic work ethic?: tailoring global capitalism for the Indonesian workplace. Hoesterey suggests that Indonesia has successfully blended Islam with free market capitalism. Hoesterey uses a variety of examples to show how Western style capitalism and entrepreneurship are being reinterpreted and integrated into marketing and business strategies in a Muslim friendly manner. He draws parallels between what is happening in Indonesian culture with what has been common for many decades in the U.S. with business and self-help gurus like Stephen Covey and Tony Robbins. Hoesterey is introduced by Professor John P. Beck, Associate Director, Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the MSU School of Human Resources and Labor Relations, the MSU Museum, The Journal for the Study of Radicalism and the MSU Asian Studies Center.

- Dr. Jonathan A.C. Brown, Georgetown University professor of Islam and Muslim Christian Relations, delivers a talk entitled, "Misquoting Muhammad: Violence and Heavenly Reward in the Islamic Tradition."

He discusses Hadiths, or the teachings of the Prophet and how an Islamic clerical class studies and interprets them, both those that are verified to be authentic and those that are likely fabricated. Brown also explains why Hadiths are used and how they provide an understanding of larger issues of legitimate violence, heavenly rewards, and questions of truth and authority. He answers questions from the audience. Brown is introduced by Mohammad Hassan Khalil, Director of the MSU Muslim Studies Program. MSU Librarian Deborah J. Margolis convenes the event. Part of the Michigan State University Libraries' Colloquia Series. Held in the MSU Main Library.
