This presentation will briefly explore the historical origins of Islamophobia and how it is defined. We will look at its growth in the United States and paying particular attention to its growth over the past 60 years and its current explosive growth, and its implications for American Muslims. 114 antisemitic incidents occurred in Wisconsin in 2023 (a significant rise since the previous year). Since October 7, a recent poll showed 1 in 4 experienced antisemitism and 75% have witnessed antisemitism. What does antisemitism look like in today’s world and throughout the state of Wisconsin. How does antisemitism manifest itself from the extreme right to extreme left of the political spectrum?

This presentation aims to critically examine how our systems have been constructed around a framework of whiteness, and how this framework continues to shape the experiences of those impacted by white supremacy. 

In this experiential workshop, we will spend the day tending to our own health and well-being WHILE earning ethics credits! We will practice turning attention inward by learning ways to slow down, pause, rest, and check in with oneself, to notice what is needed, and then care for oneself.
