    Show notes

    This podcast is sponsored by the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program, a state-funded grant project of the California State Library.

    Because of the controversial nature of Disgraced’s portrayal of Islamic Americans, L.A. Theatre Works held panel discussions following performances in Los Angeles in April 2018. We heard a remarkable range of opinions about the play from our distinguished guests.

    Shafiqa Amadi is an Associate Professor of Clinical Education at the Rossier School of Education, and Co-Director of the Center for Education, Identity and Social Justice at USC.

    Sue Obeidi is the Director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council’s Hollywood Bureau. She works with studio executives, producers, directors, and writers to create authentic, accurate and humanizing portrayals of Islam and of Muslims in film, television, and on digital platforms.

    Rabbi Sarah Bassin is an Associate Rabbi at Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills. Prior to joining Temple Emmanuel, Rabbi Bassin served as Executive Director of LA–based NewGround: A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change.

    Dr. Mo Shouka is a member of the Abraham Society, whose broad mission is to foster relationships of trust, understanding and mutual interest among individuals residing in Southern California who are of Jewish, Muslim and Christian backgrounds.

    Emel Tanis is also a member of the Abraham Society. Before moving to the US, she was a leading journalist in Turkey, and was awarded “Best Journalist of the Year” by the Turkish Journalists Association for her interview with Benazir Bhutto, the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
