In this Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (ICJS) online event, scholars Benjamin Sax and Matthew Taylor, and visiting scholar Halla Attallah, will discuss how we face instances of religious bias and bigotry in our everyday lives that are sometimes subtle and go unnoticed or unconfronted. This session will include case studies with small group discussion and role play that will help participants to recognize and respond to these microaggressions.
