As we continue to grapple with the painful events in the Middle East, many of us have wrestled with how best to stand up against antisemitism, Islamophobia, and anti-Arab racism. In this community of students and scholars, we turn to what we do best: inquiry and learning.
In the weeks and months to come, Barnard will continue to offer a variety of opportunities and resources to help us deepen our understanding of this conflict, its effects here and around the world, and how we can continue to support one another, even when we differ on important questions. We particularly want to invite you to a series of workshops we will hold during the week of December 4, designed to give us all practical tools to live out our values in community. We urge you to consider participating — you can find out more and register here:
