Conversations at Â鶹´«Ã½ | The Rise of Islamophobia (Sept. 26, 2017)

Islamophobia and violent extremism are inextricably linked. As Islamophobia continues to grip much of the Western world, join us in discussing the effects of stigmatizing Muslims and learn more about what Â鶹´«Ã½ and others are doing to help stem the tide of anti-Muslim hatred and discrimination.

Panelists:

  • Dr. Deepa Kumar: award-winning scholar and activist, and author of “Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire”
