From: [log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Seminar: Muslim Women at Risk: Gendered Islamophobia Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2012 10:45:27 +0000 Seminar: Muslim Women at Risk: Gendered Islamophobia by Dr. Barbara Perry Professor of Criminology Associate Dean, Faculty of Social Science & Humanities University of Ontario Institute of Technology Tuesday 24th April 4-5:30pm Room 230, Geoffrey Manton Building All Saints Campus Manchester Metropolitan University Location: http://www.mmu.ac.uk/travel/allsaints/ http://www.mmu.ac.uk/travel/maps/mmu_maps_allsaints_aytoun.pdf All welcome! Abstract: Post 9/11, most western nations have seen dramatic increases in bias motivated violence against Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim. Predicated on the long-lived vilification of Muslims by the media and the state, such violence is a reactionary reminder of Muslims’ outsider status. Interestingly, little attention has been paid to the particular vulnerability of women and girls to anti-Muslim hate crime. This paper begins such a dialogue, drawing on extant scholarship as well as early findings from an ongoing project on anti-Muslim violence in Ontario, Canada. Biography Dr. Barbara Perry has written extensively in the area of hate crime, including two books on the topic: In the Name of Hate: Understanding Hate Crime; and Hate and Bias Crime: A Reader. She has just completed a book manuscript for University of Arizona Press entitled The Silent Victims: Native American Victims of Hate Crime, based on interviews with Native Americans, and one on policing Native American communities for Lexington Press. She is also General Editor of a five volume set on hate crime (Praeger), and editor of Volume 3: Victims of Hate Crime of that set.
