Interrupting Islamophobia 101: Practical Ways to Create Muslim-Affirming Campus Learning Environments

Join us for a week of activities exploring ways we can address and prevent Islamophobia on our campus and create campus learning environments where Muslim students, faculty, and staff can thrive. In addition to the in-person and virtual sessions listed below, visit the LBC to view portraits and interviews of Tulane’s Muslim student community and the University Libraries for a book display highlighting significant past and current books on countering Islamophobia and supporting Muslim community thriving. 

In this session, attendees will learn practical steps on how to address Islamophobia and create Muslim-affirming campus learning environments. Educational content is followed by a panel of Tulanians sharing resource supports for countering Islamophobia and supporting Muslim students, staff, and faculty. 

Presenters: Shelby Norman (Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion), Cara Guilbeau (Carolyn Barber-Pierre Center for Intercultural Life), and Matthew Wegmann (Resolution and Restorative Engagement Program)
