The Promise of Pluralism in an Age of Prejudice

Addressing Antisemitism and Islamophobia on College Campuses

How do college and university professionals attend responsibly to harmful prejudicial behaviors while promoting dialogue, learning, and healing? 

March 10 | 12:00p.m. - 5:00p.m.

Chicago, Illinois

The Context

How do college and university professionals attend responsibly to harmful prejudicial behaviors while promoting dialogue, learning, and healing? This 2-part workshop (4 hours total) helps university presidents and senior administrators think through the complex realities of antisemitism and Islamophobia in their campus communities and beyond. The first workshop offers foundational knowledge of antisemitism and Islamophobia, including definitions, histories, and intersections. The second workshop examines one or more case studies on religious prejudice (and other related biases) in a campus context that helps participants consider what a holistic response might look like in their own institutional context. While this training focuses specifically on understanding and countering antisemitism and Islamophobia, there will also be robust discussion of how to envision such interventions as part of a larger vision of civic pluralism.
