Why Education Matters: Understanding Islamophobia In The United States, Cintya Felix

Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters

Since 9/11, there has been a significant increase in anti-Muslim racism which can be linked to misinformation, misconception, and stereotypes reinforced by a lack of an educational upbringing.

C.S. Lewis: Past Watchful Dragons, Stephanie Jones

Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016

These stories are often discussed intellectually, but it is also important to know how these stories impact readers on a personal level.

Presented at the 1997 Frances White Ewbank Colloquium.
