Profile

Dr. Stanton's research agenda follows two tracks: 20th century Palestinian and Arab world history, focusing on intersections between mass media forms and national or social identities, and 21st century Islam, focusing on intersections between contemporary media forms (mass and individual), state interests, and personal piety. Her religious studies research areas are thus in digital Islam, digital religion, and lived religion. At DU, she teaches a range of Islamic studies courses, including: Introduction to Islam, Islam in the United States, Islam and Gender, Islamic Empires, and Common Figures in the Bible and Qur'an.
