Join the Centre for Integrative Anti-Racism Studies (CIARS) for the second session of our CIARS in Conversation series.

Anti-Muslim racism has had a sustained presence pre-dating September 11th, 2001, with heightened discrimination afterward, fueled by ongoing refugee crises, cultural imperialism, and the global 鈥榃ar on Terror.鈥 In its current form, anti-Muslim racism continues to intersect with multiple identity markers both within the Muslim community and across the political landscape of fear. With unprecedented public attention toward followers of Islam through media coverage and policies promoting religious repression, gendered and racialized Muslims are disproportionately affected by police violence and repressive 鈥渃ounter-terrorism鈥 surveillance models.

This month鈥檚 CIARS In Conversation engages in key conversations pertaining to:

  • Unpacking the compounding experiences of being Muslim and Black and the intersections of anti-Muslim racism and anti-Blackness
  • Examining the role of Islam in shaping social change
  • Addressing historical and present-day manifestations of anti-Muslim racism
