Brainstorming session--topic idea?

Brainstorming Session Feb 3 with Julia and Hillary

possible topic ideas:

-arranged marriage and polygamy

-public prayer practices
     -in modern age: stigmatization of public religious expression in secular nations like France; popular acceptance of public expression of Christianity but not Islam in the United States; praying in schools; separation of church and state 
     -in pre-modern Islamic societies: prayer which structured day completely; social/community function of prayer
     -in contemporary Islamic thought: modern Islamic societies like Dubai where public prayer is announced to entire city 5 times a day; interpretations of how daily prayer should function based on individual agency
