Todd Green is an Associate Professor of Religion at Luther College and a nationally recognized expert on Islamophobia. Professor Green served as a Franklin Fellow at the U.S. State Department in 2016 and 2017, where he analyzed the impact of anti-Muslim prejudice in Europe on efugee and migrant policies, and human rights. He has also written extensively on Islamophobia for the Huffington Post and lectured to the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.

Last year, he published The Fear of Islam: An Introduction to Islamophobia in the West, which examines the political and cultural factors contributing to the rise of Islamophobia after September 11, 2001.
