Dear Colleagues,

Forward the event information below, and let me know if you would be
interested in joining our efforts to raise awareness about Islamophobia,
related forms of oppression and how these are rooted in histories of
colonization.

Islamophobia: Its causes and consequences, how to counter it in daily life

Free and open to the public.

250 Knowlton Hall, 275 West Woodruff Avenue

In recent years, prejudice towards and discrimination of Muslims has
reached a fevered pitch. Beyond blatant physical attacks or acts of
vandalism, polls show that negative sentiment towards the followers of
Islam runs deep, and has manifested itself in a range of ways. In an
evening discussion that addresses this pernicious phenomenon, author Nathan
Lean discusses its causes, its consequences, and highlights some of the
underlying dynamics that have animated it in recent history. Looking ahead,
he also offers key insights on how students, scholars, and members of
community at large can counter instances of prejudice and help realize a
world that values pluralism and diversity.
