Assistant Professor of Industrial Design, Mania Taher, receives 2024 Sally Kress Tompkins Fellowship

August 23, 2024

This summer, Mania Taher received the 2024 Sally Kress Tompkins Fellowship, awarded jointly by the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) and the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS-U.S. National Park  Service). This fellowship award enabled her to complete a survey and report documenting  the physical and social histories of the Dearborn Mosque building and community in Dearborn (est. 1938), Wayne County, MI. This building, only the second mosque built in the United States, serves as a case study of early American mosque architecture. The Dearborn Mosque engages significantly with resettlement histories of the 20th-Century Arab immigrants of Dearborn and Detroit who were predominantly industrial workers at the Ford automotive company.
