“The primary objective of the ADC-RI Media Research Project is to research, track, and document anti-Arab and Islamophobic bias in the media, public discourse, and from public officials. This tracking project will serve as a resource tool which will highlight the prevalence of bias and bigotry. The project will expose xenophobia and hatred that target minorities in the U.S., particularly Arab and Muslim Americans.
The project will also celebrate achievements of Arabs and Muslims from around the world.”
About 40 University of Michigan students gathered at the Edward Said Minority Lounge for the second day of the Arab Student Association’s Palestine Focus Week Tuesday evening. The night centered around a talk by Umayyah Cable, assistant professor of American culture and film, television and media, followed by dinner and bracelet making with beads of Palestinian flag colors.
