Dr. Karam, Dr. Salah, Dr. Gasteyer, and Dr. Hourani are facilitating a focus group where MENA faculty members can express their experiences, concerns, and life as a MENA student at MSU. We aim to collect basic demographic data on these groups, and to understand their place, roles and experiences on campus. Particular attention will be paid to their understanding of their own identities (identification) and to their experience of having identities ascribed to them (ethnic or racial prejudices).

The focus group will take place on Thursday, April 11th from 12-1:30pm at Phillips Hall room 153 (Abbot Seminar Room) followed by lunch at the gallery.
