FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Association of American Geographers Annual Conference, San Francisco,
17th - 21st April 2007
Muslims in the West: critical perspectives and local everyday experiences
There now exists a number of accounts of the ways in which Muslims
negotiate their everyday lives in local spaces, including understandings
of accounts of racism and Islamophobia, everyday gendered practices,
resistances to mosque development and accounts of ethnic residential
clustering. Alongside this, researchers are also exploring the
repercussions of broader geopolitical issues, such as terror events,
the ‘global war on terror’, as well as the ways in which Muslims are
demonised within national discourses. This session will generate a
dialogue between these different approaches to understanding the
experiences of Muslims in the West, and we encourage submissions from both
established academics and postgraduate researchers.
If you would be interested in participating in this paper session, please
send a short abstract (no longer than 250 words) to the organisers by 30th
September 2006.
