Conversations on Antisemitism and Islamophobia

On campus, location TBA to registrants
Conversations on Antisemitism and Islamophobia launched in spring 2023 and is a continuation of a previous MSU Dialogues program, restructured to engage the campus community in these important topics.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their observations and experiences, while learning to contribute to the inclusivity of MSU's campus community.
Professors Yael Aronoff, Mohammad Khalil, Kirsten Fermaglich, Morgan Shipley and Amy Simon will present on the history and current manifestation of these prejudices and Ralph Johnson of the Office for Inclusive Excellence and Impact, will facilitate group discussion.
Student participation may be used as an Honors option; please check with faculty.
To register, individuals must be logged in to the MSU Google Drive. For assistance with registering, please contact Ralph Johnson at john7611@msu.edu.
Due to the sensitive nature of the topics covered, this event is closed to the media and participants are not allowed to make any recordings.
Registration is required and limited to current MSU community members with a valid msu.edu email address.
