PROJECT GOALS
The Islamophobia Research & Documentation Project has the following goals:
- Support graduate and undergraduate research and documentation focused on issues of Islamophobia through mentorship and intellectual exchange
- Establish an advisory group of a diverse community of faculty working on issues related to Islamophobia
- Provide seed funding for specific research projects on Islamophobia
- Publish an annual report documenting the status of Islamophobia within the United States
- Publish a bi-annual peer reviewed academic periodical focusing on emerging research on Islamophobia
- Host an annual conference to discuss and analyze research outcomes
The research agenda is centered on Muslims in the Diaspora and the intersection between two categories of inquiry: 1) race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, and religion, and 2) the global "war on terror," its impact on Muslim communities and American culture, and the use of the war to reintroduce long discredited Eurocentric paradigms.
