Resilience in a Changing World
Featured Speakers
Professor of Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations
Scott has been studying, teaching, and writing about Islam and Muslim-Christian relations for nearly 40 years. The focus of his life’s ministry has been building bridges of reconciliation, mutual understanding, and solidarity for justice between Muslims and Christians in the U.S. and abroad. As a self-described “scholar-activist,” Scott devotes considerable energy to challenging structures of Islamophobia and other forms of systemic bigotry and marginalization. His most recent scholarly publications focus on Islamophobia in the United States as a genre of anti-Black racism, as well as on cultivating interreligious allyship as a critical component of graduate theological education, especially in predominantly Christian institutions.
