Join us for a lecture and conversation with Susannah Heschel, the Eli M. Black Distinguished Professor and chair of the Jewish Studies Program at Dartmouth College, and Ezzedine Fishere, a senior lecturer at Dartmouth where he teaches courses on Middle East politics. Heschel's scholarship focuses on the history of Jewish and Protestant religious thought in Germany during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and she has brought post-colonial theory and feminist theory to her analyses; Fishere is also a novelist and a contributing columnist for the Washington Post.

Accessible seating, live captioning viewable from your personal device, and ASL interpreting will be available during the lecture. If you need any alternate accommodations, please contact iceo@mit.edu.

Please register for the event using your MIT email address and be prepared to present your MIT ID on arrival at the lecture.

We hope that you will choose to attend more than one Dialogues Across Difference session. For complete information and registration links for the other dates, please visit the ICEO website.

Dialogues Across Difference focuses on modeling disagreement by elevating and encouraging dialogue. The series invites internal and external speakers whose expertise can help cultivate civil discourse, critical thinking, and empathy among members of our community, and it serves as a platform for public discussions related to Standing Together Against Hate, the MIT Values Statement; the Strategic Action Plan for Belonging, Achievement, and Composition; the Faculty Statement on Free Expression; and other ongoing campus initiatives or debates.

Dialogues Across Difference is sponsored by the offices of the President, Provost, and Chancellor.
