Islamophobia takes its toll on all Muslims, but Muslim women often bear the brunt. Consider the debate surrounding what Muslim women wear or the violent Islamphobic threats MP Iqra Khalid has recently received since introducing a motion to condemn and prevent future hate crimes. Yasmin Jiwani, a full Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University, will talk about mediatization of Islamophobic politics with a focus on women. She is the author of Discourses of Denial: Mediations of Race, Gender and Violence (2006). Currently, she is working on a manuscript focusing on representations of race, gender in Canadian media.
