Event Description:

While most can agree that antisemitism and Islamophobia are harmful and divisive, in the current context of war in the Middle East it seems hard to agree on what they actually mean, what discourses and conduct they describe, and what we should do to try to combat them. Two leading scholars and public intellectuals, David Schraub (Lewis and Clark Law School) and Hussein Ibish (Arab Gulf States Institute, formerly American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee), will help us understand antisemitism and Islamophobia historically as well as in this complicated and confusing moment.
