  • [New Voices] Ashley Bagan writes on “every undergraduate thesis-writer’s dream come true,” Gabriel Greenberg’s “Islamophobia: Making Muslims the Enemy,” which he co-wrote with his adviser Peter Gottschalk. The book is a study of American political cartoons and their depictions of all things Islamic.

  • [ArtDaily] Two of the American Association of Museums‘ four national winners of the Excellence in Exhibition Competition are Jewish shows: Daring to Resist: Jewish Defiance in the Holocaust (Museum of Jewish Heritage) and Noah’s Ark (Skirball).
