<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">This workshop will explore the historical and contemporary manifestations of antisemitism and equip participants with the language, tools, and context to
recognize and respond to anti-Jewish bias in academic and workplace settings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">The FBI has released data showing that anti-Jewish hate crimes in the United States reached record levels in 2024. According to the report, 1,938 single-bias
hate crimes were committed against Jews last year, a 5.8% increase from 2023, marking the highest number ever recorded since the FBI began collecting data—a 5% rise from 2023 and the highest number since the organization began tracking. This briefing was developed
after October 2023 to help participants navigate the current moment as upstanders and allies for the Jewish community. It provides context on Jewish identity, what antisemitism is, and how anti-Jewish ideas are showing up in discourse around Israel and Palestine.
Our proven strategy for identifying Jewish harm nurtures empathy for all people, creates space for nuance, and respects the politics and values of everyone in the room. Participants leave with a toolkit to understand and identify anti-Jewish harm. Half the
session is dedicated to a brave space conversation and Q&A. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:#0070C0">October 28, 2025 2:30-4pm<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">This 90-minute interactive workshop with Islamic Networks Group introduces faculty and staff to the identities, and lived experiences of Muslim, Arab, and
Palestinian students, staff, and faculty. Participants will learn to identify how Islamophobia and related forms of bias appear in everyday campus life—whether in language, media portrayals, or interpersonal interactions. Through case examples, staff will
gain practical tools to respond effectively to bias, foster a climate of belonging, and ensure that campus services and resources are accessible and welcoming to all. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">In 2023, Muslim civil rights organizations received reports of over 8000 anti-Muslim hate incidents. Despite the high ratio of unreported incidents, the number
increased by 56% compared to the previous year. Half of these incidents occurred between October and December 2023. The surge in anti-Muslim hate that erupted in October 2023 continued. From January to June 2024, the same civil rights organizations documented
nearly 5,000 incoming complaints, a sixty-nine percent increase over the same period in 2023. The experience of students and employees during this cycle of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hate remain the standout trends compared to past cycles. Islamophobia, a centuries
old framework, shapes how Islam and Muslims are perceived in the US and globally. This seminar explores the roots and dominant tropes of Islamophobia, examining its impact on Muslim and Arab American communities. It concludes by proposing strategies to combat
Islamophobia at both interpersonal and institutional levels. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
