Conversations on Antisemitism and Islamophobia launched in spring 2023 and is a continuation of a previous MSU Dialogues program, restructured to better engage the campus community in these important topics.
In this four-part series, faculty experts will discuss the history and current manifestations of these prejudices, which occur globally, nationally and on college campuses. Throughout the series, discussions will center on incidents that occurred globally, nationally and within the MSU community. Participants will have the opportunity to share their observations and ideas that will contribute to the inclusivity of MSU.
Student participation may be used as an Honors Option, please check with faculty for more information. Faculty and staff attendance may be considered for annual reviews and promotions.
Participants are encouraged to attend all four in-person sessions for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the conversations. Complimentary pizza or Middle Eastern food will be provided at each session.
