Prof. Ivan Kalmar is a professor in the Department of Anthropology, and Hon. Newton W. Rowell Professor at Victoria College, University of Toronto. His main work has addressed parallels in the image of Muslims and Jews in western Christian cultural history. He co-edited a volume called Orientalism and the Jews. More recently, he has published Early Orientalism: Imagined Islam and the Notion of Sublime Power. In addition, he has published research articles dedicated to reviving the notion that Jews and Muslims have long been considered in the West as related to each other. This was not necessarily entirely based in objective fact, but was more so, and was certainly far more hopeful, than the all-too-current notion that they must be opposites and enemies. On today's topic, antisemitism and Islamophobia, Prof. Kalmar has co-written an article with a leading western Muslim author, Tariq Ramadan. This article will be appearing in the Routledge Handbook of Muslim-Jewish Relations.
