HOFSTRA CULTURAL CENTER, EUROPEAN STUDIES and the
ERASMUS+ JEAN MONNET GRANT present
Interrogating Hate: Antisemitism, Islamophobia and Racisms in the European Union and at Home
These presentations are part of a three-year grant from the European Union that will examine the European Union’s activities in the areas of anti-discrimination and hate crime policy. Areas of exploration will include gender, antisemitism, Islamophobia, LGBTQ rights, racism, and Roma exclusion. We will explore how these issues manifest themselves in Europe and in the U.S., what policy initiatives and abilities the European Union has in these areas, and what lessons we can learn here in the U.S. Faculty members will share their expertise, and future speakers will focus more on these topics.
