This week we’re looking at Islamophobia as a keyword for Critical Zionism Studies. But it’s necessarily also about anti-Palestinian racism and DEI — diversity, equity, and inclusion. This is a special episode — rather than an interview, we’re bringing you leading thinkers and educators in conversation. We’re joined by Evelyn Alsultany, Nadine Naber, Nina Mehta, and ICSZ collective member Amira Jarmakani. This talk is called “Oh… and Islamophobia!” It was organized by ICSZ as part of the launch of the Coalition to End Zionist Repression, which is at bit.ly/campus-alliance.

This talk was recorded on Oct. 16, 2024.
