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.</span></p>

as do the long, complex histories surrounding antisemitism and Islamophobia. Many students are striving to articulate and act on their values, and to name the contexts and histories that feel meaningful. But many of us—educators and students alike—also have
gaps in our understanding of multiple contexts of struggle and survival, and of the plurality of meanings in the language we use to speak about it all.</span></p>

antisemitism and Islamophobia typically take, including in our courses and on our campuses, and the impacts they have on students. We’ll have an opportunity to reflect on how our own histories shape our understanding of/reaction to antisemitic and Islamophobic
statements and how we can stay grounded in empathy for students as they learn and act in a context that is fraught and contested. We’ll discuss promising practices for reducing antisemitism or Islamophobia and pre-plan least one way to address them in our
