Faculty Workshop: The Rise of Antisemitism and Xenophobia


​Register today for the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Project’s annual faculty workshop. Our discussion will focus on the rise of global antisemitism and xenophobia and ways to infuse human rights-based content into our courses. The workshop is scheduled for Thursday, January 14 from 11 am to 2 pm in the Warshof Conference Center, Flynn Campus Center (Monroe B). Lunch will be served. RSVP by Friday, December 18 to Sharon Scurlock at <mailto:sscurlock@monroecc.edu> or x3321. 

The HGHRP annual faculty workshop emphasizes connections between human rights topics and curricula across disciplines, with the goal of helping faculty to infuse their courses with human rights-based content. Relevant pedagogical tools will be given to participants.

This workshop will also provide additional insight about the HGHRP’s Voices of Vigilance program planned for Wednesday evening, March 9. The keynote speaker will be Roya Hakakian, an Iranian-American journalist and poet who grew up as part of the minority Jewish community in Iran.

Please join us.
