In this workshop, we will explore definitions of Islamophobia, its manifestations, and the distinctions between interpersonal and structural forms. The discussion will highlight the intersections of race and religion, focusing on how these dynamics produce structural Islamophobia, fuel anti-Muslim and anti-Arab racism, deny the diverse history of Muslims in the U.S., and impact advocacy. Participants will come away with increased awareness and knowledge of Islamophobia and how to recognize it, and their role in creating an inclusive campus environment.
This session is a part of the Community Citizenship Initiative (CCI) and is designed for first semester students. Students attending this workshop will receive credit for CCI and will have their requirement considered complete.
