The Promise of Pluralism in an Age of Prejudice

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

The Context

This two-part workshop (4 hours total) helps college and university presidents and senior administrators think through the complex realities of antisemitism and Islamophobia in their campus communities and beyond. The first workshop will offer foundational knowledge of antisemitism and Islamophobia, including definitions, histories, and intersections. The second workshop will examine 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 will focus 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.
