DESCRIPTION:"DECONSTRUCTING ISLAMOPHOBIA:\nImmigration, Globalization, & Constructing 
 The Other"\n\nApril 25 & 26, Friday & Saturday, all-day, 2-day conference, 
 from 8:30am-6:30pm\n \nIn today’s world, Islam and Muslims are the feared 
 “other” and the responses to the perceived threat they pose is already 
 connected to every local, regional and global process. \n\nThe “othering 
 Islam and Muslims” is already well underway with devastating consequences 
 in Muslim communities, where virtual states of siege has set in, and in 
 societies at large, where civil rights and protections have been severely 
 curtailed in the name of “security.”  Despite the manifold and 
 variegated implications of Islamophobia as a structural organizing 
 principle, the topic has yet to receive comprehensive treatment in the 
 academy.  \n\nThe conference seeks to provide an open scholarly exchange, 
 exploring new approaches to the study of the current period, 
 de-constructing the organizing processes that gave birth to Islamophobia, 
 and studying its interconnectedness to existing and historical otherness in 
 the areas of race, gender and “post-colonial” studies. The conference 
 will explore and pose a number of questions that can be the springboard for 
 further collaborative and multidisciplinary approaches to de-constructing 
 Islamophobia.  \n\nHow should we approach Islamophobia and how can we think 
 of it within the field(s) of post-colonial studies and/or Ethnic Studies?  
 What would be Islamophobia's impact on the move from a post-colonial into a 
 de-colonization approach?   What new or modified theoretical frameworks 
 should be employed?  How adequate are current methodologies in existing 
 academic fields to the task of de-constructing Islamophobia.  Can these 
 methodologies be adjusted or do we need an entirely new paradigm?  If so, 
 then what, where and how?"\n\n\nApril 25-26, 2008 \n\nAll-day
