Equality and Diversity Lecture 2021 - Islamophobia and the Struggle for Recognition
The Faculty of Law is delighted to welcome Professor Tariq Modood (University of Bristol) to deliver the Oxford Law Faculty’s Annual Equality and Diversity Lecture for 2021, with a lecture entitled ‘Islamophobia and the Struggle for Recognition’.
The event will be chaired by Professor Tarun Khaitan (University of Oxford; Head of Research at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights), with an introduction by the Dean of the Oxford Law Faculty, Professor Mindy Chen-Wishart.
Abstract for the lecture: The concept of Islamophobia as anti-Muslim racism is establishing itself in social science and public discourse alike. Yet there is a tendency to focus on Muslims as an ‘Other’, an ascribed identity, at the expense of Muslim inter-subjectivity and agency. ‘Othering’ analysis also does not attend to how to distinguish between Islamophobia and reasonable criticism of Muslims and Islam. This suggests the need for a multiculturalist rather than merely an anti-racist understanding of Islamophobia; one which sees discrimination within a larger frame of a struggle for recognition and institutional accommodation of difference.
