Abstract
Our presentation will focus on the portrayal of Middle Easterners in the 21st century by providing video and audio clips from popular movies, television shows, and radio programs to explore the depiction of Middle Easterners. We hope to educate and engage our audience on the stereotypes and characterizations of Middle Easterners in media and disadvantages that arise from these sources of information. The session will include interactive opportunities and discussions to educate and raise awareness among participants.
