Biography
Aziza Margari Hill came into Islam after graduating from high school in 1993. She has been
interested in writing since age 2 when she first began drawing pictures and scribbles in her
mother's phone book. Aziza read voraciously in elementary school and writing became a habit as
her imagination flowed through the rhythm of her typewriter's keyboard.
In 1997, Aziza entered a creative program at Foothill College, deciding she wanted to write the
untold stories collected in her mind. Aziza eventually transferred to Santa Clara where she earned
her B.A. in history.
Currently in a doctoral history program, Aziza hopes to write previously histories in articles and
books. Aziza has studied Muslim networks that span the Sahara and connecting communities frum
sub-saharan Africa and North Africa. She is striving to look at the ways Muslim conceptualize
religiously motivated mobility, hajj, hijrah and ziyara as colonialism and modernity created national
boundaries and ethnic identities became fixed.
Aziza's research has affirmed her belief in the value of Islamic traditions in learning and science.
She is committed to fostering Islamic thought in scholarly and non-academic exchanges. Aziza
hopes to participate in the intellectual and artistic movement that is building a future for Muslim
communities and Islamic institutions.
