Facing Anti-Arab Racism, Antisemitism, and Islamophobia on Our Campus: Faculty Discuss their Experiences

The Advisory Committees for Arab and Muslim Student Life and Jewish Student Life invite you to this inaugural event of a jointly sponsored series focused on conversing, connecting, and engaging with members of our Yale community of many backgrounds and beliefs. This series aims to facilitate open and honest discussion where we may safely and freely express and hear about experiences and perspectives of our fellow community members centered on a foundation of respect, open-mindedness, and curiosity to differing perspectives.

It has been a difficult year in the world and on campus, with conflicts and events across the globe having very personal and painful implications for individuals and communities at Yale.

Join us for an open, candid discussion between several faculty about their personal experiences facing Anti-Arab racism, Antisemitism and Islamophobia on campus.

Moderated by University Chaplain Maytal Saltiel, the faculty panelists are Teresa Chahine, the Sheila and Ron ’92 B.A. Marcelo Senior Lecturer in Social Entrepreneurship at Yale School of Management and Director of the Social Innovation Initiative at Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs; Shiri Goren, Director of the Hebrew Program in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations; Hani Mowafi, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Yale School of Medicine; and Maurice Samuels, the Betty Jane Anlyan Professor of French and Director of Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism.

This event will not be filmed or recorded. Please come with an open heart, curious mind, and turned-off phone.

A reception and the opportunity to continue the conversation with the panelists and Chaplain Saltiel will follow the panel discussion.
