Her project concerns the Japanese outcaste group, the Burakamin. Kanter also became a Fellow of the University Commons in May. Her Commons project, “The Abraham Salon,” is based on the model of the Abrahamic interfaith dialogue created by Bruce Feiler, author of Walking the Bible, Abraham and Where God was Born.
