With emerging societal divisions and reshaped university policies on academic freedom, inclusivity, and dialogue, Jewish and Muslim students, faculty, and staff are facing increasing polarization, hostility, and institutional challenges. This symposium seeks to reframe these tensions by exploring the deep, intertwined histories of Jewish and Muslim communities—histories marked by both collaboration and conflict. By drawing on these shared pasts, we aim to develop strategies that foster inclusivity, combat racism, and reduce ethnic and religious intolerance in academic spaces.

The symposium will consist of four sessions that focus on Judeo-Muslim Entanglements in the Middle Ages; Jewish-Muslim Life in the Present; Interrogating Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism, and Anti-Blackness; and Zionism and the Christian Right. The papers presented in the symposium will be developed into short book chapters that will be published as an edited volume (anticipated as a contribution to the "Darom: Global South Perspectives in Jewish Studies" series at Wayne State University Press). The editors will be Mostafa Hussein, Bryan K. Roby, Adi Saleem, and Rebecca Wollenberg.

On behalf of the University of Michigan’s SAPAC office and its masculinity-focused program, MARS (Masculinity, Advocacy, Reflection, Solidarity), we’d like to invite you to join us in being in conversation with expert panelists on Monday, April 13th from 5:30-7:00pm. This event will bring together a panel of expert practitioners, educators, and student advocates to explore the evolving landscape of masculinity work on college campuses. Panelists will share insights from their lived experiences and professional practice, reflecting on the challenges, breakthroughs, and future directions of engaging masculine-identifying students in conversations around identity, relationships, and violence prevention. This event is grounded in the broader campus-wide Unscripted campaign—an initiative that challenges gender norms and invites students to “ditch the script” of rigid expectations (more info can be found on the website here)—to offer a space for critical dialogue and reflection. The goal is for attendees to gain a deeper understanding of masculinity as a social force and its impact within campus communities. The event also offers an opportunity to engage directly with panelists and consider how this work can be applied within their communities via curated questions from both the MARS team and audience members. Participants will leave with ideas for fostering cultures of care, accountability, and connection in their own lives and communities.
