Testimony & public record

After 2002, Dr. Mansour's reformist work moved partly into the public record of American institutions. Congressional testimony, fellowships at three universities and two policy bodies, and the published outputs of those fellowships are gathered here.

Congressional testimony

Two appearances on the record before the U.S. Congress, both on the political theology of Islamist movements and their relationship to civil liberties.
