| Abstract
|
:
|
The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the ways in which information seeking, evaluation, and sharing practices mediate the conversion experiences of Muslims living in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This research contributes to Information Studies and interdisciplinary literature on conversion by adding insight into information practice in a religious context, particularly one that is characterized by a critical transition and situated within a contentious political landscape.
