WEBINAR SERIES TO EXPLORE ANTISEMITISM AND ISLAMOPHOBIA: THEN AND NOW

Hartford International University for Religion and Peace will host a four-part lunchtime webinar series that explores the roots – and the current manifestations – of hatred and bigotry toward Jews and Muslims. Two scholars will focus on what’s happening today and two will delve into ancient and scriptural connections.

Each webinar will take place on a Tuesday in March, beginning March 5, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. EST.

Speakers will explore their stated topics and take questions from attendees.
