Teaching Against Islamophobia
Workshop Co-Sponsored with the American Academy of Religion
Anti-Muslim bigotry and racism have risen to epidemic proportions in the United States and Europe. The Wabash Center and the American Academy of Religion recognize the importance of equipping a broad array of religion scholars with the pedagogical knowledge, tools, and strategies to teach about, and against, anti-Muslim prejudice.
