Given the urgency of our times to promote social justice, Jay Crisostomo (MES, UM), Kristina Richardson (History, CUNY), and Bryan Roby (Judaic Studies, UM) will reflect on their experience of systemic racism, sexism, and homophobia in Middle East Studies. Much critique has been voiced by Ethnic Studies and Gender & Women’s Studies programs about structural inequalities in the academy, yet we have remained silent about the peculiar forms of discrimination that inhabit ME Studies. How can we raise awareness and practice social justice in our teaching, research, and professional activities? Join us for a conversation on intolerance in the field of Middle East Studies.
