Shared Differences: A Conversation About Antisemitism and Islamophobia

The growth of “hatriotism” in the United States will be explored on Thursday, September 22, in the continuing National Dialogue Series, A Path Forward, hosted by the National Conflict Resolution Center.

“Shared Differences: A Conversation about Antisemitism and Islamophobia in the U.S.” will focus on the mainstreaming of white supremist thought and its effect on Muslim and Jewish communities and our democratic institutions. The featured speakers are Duke University Associate Professor Imam Abdullah Antepli and New York Times Op-Ed Columnist Bret Stephens.

“We’re fortunate to have two distinguished thought leaders who will offer ideas for countering this troubling trend, to find a path forward,” said Steven P. Dinkin, President of the National Conflict Resolution Center and the moderator of the discussion on September 22.

About the Panelists

Imam Abdullah Antepli is a senior fellow on Jewish-Muslim Relations at Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, where he founded and co-directs the widely recognized Muslim Leadership Initiative. He is also an associate professor at the Sanford School of Public Policy, Duke University, with a secondary appointment at the Divinity School.

Bret Stephens is an op-ed columnist for The New York Times and editor-in-chief of Sapir (sapirjournal.org), a new quarterly dedicated to exploring issues of Jewish concern. He previously worked at the Wall Street Journal, where he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize, and as editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post.

The in-person conversation will take place at UC San Diego Park & Market, 1100 Market Street, First Floor, in downtown San Diego. It’s free to attend and requires registration. Doors open at 5:00pm (PT). The one-hour program will be livestreamed at 5:30pm (PT) to a national audience on NCRCevents.com.

“Following the event, audience members are encouraged to participate in a no-cost workshop or facilitated dialogue to deepen their learning and take action on their own,” said Dinkin.
