The bilateral relationship between the U.S. and Israel has effectively blinded it to the most detrimental factors to the dissolution of the peace-brokering process, most notably the impact of Israeli occupation on Palestinian sovereignty and the legitimacy of international human rights law. Host Sahar Aziz will discuss these complex dynamics with author and political scientist Khaled Elgindy by decentering a unilateral perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a socio-historical lens.

The indeterminate and contested nature of the terms of international law indicate a prevalent concern regarding the legitimacy of international law in the context of Israel’s war with Hamas and the ongoing military campaign in the Gaza Strip. Host Sahar Aziz explores this topic with Law Professor and expert on Middle Eastern studies Dr. George Bisharat to dissect the prevalent inconsistencies in enforcing and applying international human rights as persistent roadblocks to achieving justice for Palestinians.

Since October 8, 2023, the Israeli military has killed over 41,000 Palestinians, severely injured over 100,000 Palestinians in Gaza, and destroyed the medical infrastructure in what international legal scholars have described as a genocide. Israel has also severely restricted the entrance of food and medical supplies from the Gaza Strip, resulting in the massive starvation of over 2 million Palestinian civilians.
CSRR Faculty Affiliate Dr. Heba Khalil guest hosts today’s episode with an interview with Wilhelmi (Willy) Massay, a Tanzanian American trauma nurse who went to Gaza on a medical mission in the spring of 2024. Mr. Massay provides a harrowing account of his eyewitness to the systematic destruction of Gaza’s medical system, a severe shortage of medical equipment, and the consequent preventable deaths of thousands of Palestinians.

Host Sahar Aziz invites Professor Juliane Hammer to discuss her book Peaceful Families: American Muslim Efforts against Domestic Violence that addresses how Muslim advocacy work against domestic abuse is embedded in and challenged by systems of anti-Muslim hostility and racism while also having to contend with changing notions of gender norms and practices. Based on ethnographic research and textual analysis, Professor Hammer offers an intersectional analysis of how Muslim advocates respond to these challenges both within and outside of the Muslim communities they serve.

did they have? Join our host Sahar Aziz in her discussion with Professor Edward Curtis to learn how these Midwesterners built their communal power, creating a life that was American, Arab, and Muslim all at the same time.

Drawing on a global and comparative ethnography, Professor Heba Gowayed explores how Syrian men and women seeking refuge in a moment of unprecedented global displacement are received by countries of resettlement and asylum—the U.S., Canada, and Germany. It shows that human capital, typically examined as the skills immigrants bring with them that shape their potential, is actually created, transformed, or destroyed by receiving states’ incorporation policies. Since these policies derive from historically informed and unequal approaches to social welfare, refugees’ experiences raise a mirror to how states (re)produce inequality.

Wade has rightfully triggered a national debate about the role of religion in lawmaking, women's rights to control their reproductive health, and the racially disparate impact of state prohibitions on abortion. Join our host Sahar Aziz and legal scholars Asifa Quraishi-Landes, and Cynthia Soohoo on the legal, political, and social implications of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

Since the early 1960s, incarcerated Muslims have used legal action to establish their rights to religious freedom and improve their conditions behind bars – ultimately safeguarding the civil rights not only of imprisoned Muslims but all people who are confined in a carceral setting. In this episode, University of Pittsburgh School of Law Professor SpearIt discusses his book “Muslim Prisoner Litigation: An Unsung American Tradition.”

It is possible for a historically marginalized group to experience discrimination and to also be discriminatory. Understanding the hard truth of Latino anti-Black bias is critical for fostering a multiracial democracy. Host Sahar Aziz discusses these issues with “Racial Innocence: Unmasking Latino Anti-Black Bias and the Struggle for Equality” author and Fordham School of Law Professor Tanya Katerí Hernández.

Academic freedom, equity, Islamophobia, and the commercialization of higher education offer challenges to faculty nationwide. In a telling incident, Black Muslim students of Hamline University complained of Islamophobic incidents on campus while also taking offense at the showing of a famous Persian painting of the Prophet Mohammed in a global art history class. Host Sahar Aziz discusses these issues with Rutgers Art History Professor Tamara Sears and University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School Professor Asifa Quraishi-Landes.
