Two Decades Later: Islamophobia in the War on Terror

Description

The Johns Hopkins University Program in Islamic Studies and the Program in Racism, Immigration, and Citizenship are co-hosting a conversation on Islamophobia in the U.S. two decades after Sept. 11, 2001. The conversation's focus is on a new book by scholar and organizer Maha Hilal, who tells the powerful story of two decades of the War on Terror and how the official narrative has justified the creation of a sprawling apparatus of state violence rooted in Islamophobia and its worst abuses. Conversation partners include Nazia Kazi, author of Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics; Lubna Azmi, Johns Hopkins junior and community organizer in Virginia; and Homayra Ziad, director of the Johns Hopkins Program in Islamic Studies.

Panelists:

• Maha Hilal (researcher and writer on institutionalized Islamophobia and author of Innocent Until Proven Muslim: Islamophobia, the War on Terror, and the Muslim Experience Since 9/11)
• Nazia Kazi (Stockton University)
• Homayra Ziad (Johns Hopkins University)
• Lubna Azmi (Johns Hopkins University)
