Episode description

Prof. Sahar Aziz, Distinguished Professor of Law and Chancellor's Social Justice Scholar at Rutgers Law and author of  The Racial Muslim: When Racism Quashes Religious Freedom, joins us to discuss her recent report “Presumptively Antisemitic: Islamophobic Tropes In The Palestine-Israel Discourse.” We explore the ways Islamophobia spreads in the media and shifts the balance of conversation of coverage, resulting in a dehumanizing effect for Muslims, and how—especially in this moment—some genuinely pro-Palestinian advocacy is inaccurately framed as anti-Semitic.
