| | | Description | Should the United States discriminate among potential immigrants on the basis of religion? Our policy has been not to do so. But there have been recent calls by prominent politicians to change that practice. The panel discussion “Immigration, Religion, and Human Rights” will address this and related questions from philosophical, sociological, and historical perspectives. Panelists - Michael Blake (Professor of Philosophy, Public Policy, and Governance, Department of Philosophy and Daniel J. Evans School of Public Policy & Governance, UW Seattle)
- Sarah Eltantawi (Assistant Professor of Comparative Religion and Islamic Studies, Evergreen State College)
- Kathie Friedman (Associate Professor, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, UW Seattle)
- Thomas Schmidt (Professor of Philosophy of Religion, Department of Catholic Theology, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany)
Moderator - Michael Rosenthal (Professor of Philosophy and Samuel and Althea Stroum Chair in Jewish Studies, UW Seattle)
This panel is part of the Oct. 27-28 conference Immigration, Toleration, and Human Rights, organized by William J. Talbott (Philosophy, UW Seattle) and Amos Nascimento (Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, UW Tacoma). |
