This full-time appointment is for a Muslim Scholar/Community Educator to work with rabbinic and seminary students as part of their religious formation for a multi-religious world. This is a three-year, non-tenured appointment by the presidents of Hebrew College and Andover Newton Theological School. Beyond faculty teaching responsibilities, this position includes working in partnership with the co-directors of the *Center for Interreligious and Communal Leadership Education* (CIRCLE) on academic and community-based initiatives as well as contributing to a broader vision of interreligious leadership formation. More information can be found here<http://www.ants.edu/> . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- *International Conference on Islamophobia Studies: Latent and Manifest Islamophobia *Deadline: January 10, 2014 University of California, Berkeley Inspired by Edward Said’s work on Orientalism, the 2014 conference is focused on exploring the link between “latent” Islamophobia as “the unconscious, untouchable certainty about what Islam and Muslims are and the basic content that is asserted to be static and unanimous,” and the Muslim as the problematized subject of Islamophobic discourse constructed “as separate, eccentric, backward, silently different, sensual, and passive.” The conference will include multimedia formats. Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts covering the widest spectrum of disciplinary fields, interdisciplinary projects as well as presentation formats including poetry, spoken word, short documentaries, art, cartoons, comedy as well as traditional research papers both theoretical and empirical. More information can be found here<http://www.islamophobiacon.com/conference.html> . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- *Calling all fans of the Pluralism Project:* Are you on Facebook?
