Islamophobia and Its Impact in the US and World
Islamic Networks Group (ING) will be delivering a presentation on “Islamophobia and Its Impact in the US and World: A Strategy for Teaching about Anti-Muslim Racism” at the American Academy of Religion (AAR) 2022 Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado.
The rise of Islamophobia is part of a global outbreak of racism, of which Islamophobia is a specific form, first appearing in the context of the Crusades and then the Western colonial takeover of Muslim-majority countries and regions. Teaching about and against Islamophobia, therefore, requires attention to historical and global contexts and its connection to racism generally. ING has developed a model for teaching about and against Islamophobia through an interactive seminar that traces the roots, history, and contemporary manifestations of Islamophobia globally and in the US and concludes with a discussion of ways to counter Islamophobia and a call to concrete action against it. The presentation will include time for questions, discussion, and reflection.
Speaker: Dr. Zachary Markwith (bio)
