Religion and Politics in the Middle East
Facilitator: Liz Burns Taormina New York Educator, Institute for Curriculum Services

The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center (HMTC) in partnership with the Institute for Curriculum Services provides a workshop on teaching the topic of religion and politics in the Middle East.

This session explores the complex and diverse religious landscapes of Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, and Iran and considers the ways religion and politics are intertwined in each country using constitutions and founding documents. This session will deepen participants' background knowledge on the region, but will not directly address current events. Teachers of Global History II, as well as all who are eager to deepen their knowledge, will benefit from this session.
