De-Constructing Islamophobia: Immigration,
Globalization and Constructing the Other
In 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. The “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. The 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. How 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?"

April 3 Forum: Sexography: Documenting Racialized Sexual Subjectivities
Professor Juana María Rodríguez,
Gender and Women's Studies
&
Professor Marcia
Ochoa, Community Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz
This dialogue between Professors
Rodríguez and Ochoa engages what it
means to write about racialized sexuality and sex within an
academic landscape in which the sexual practices of racialized
subjects have long been a subject of intellectual fetishism,
speculation and inquiry. How have fields like anthropology,
sexology, queer studies, ethnic studies and gender studies
dealt with depictions of queer sex and sexuality in scholarly
writing? How can scholars chronicle, document, theorize, and
respond to the messy, complicated and politically charged sexual
realities of racialized subjects in ways that do justice to
the people who live them? This conversation will consider the
continued significance of writing about sex and sexualized
racial subjects in the temporal moment after the feminist sex-wars,
after the medical (mis)management of AIDS, after Lawrence v.
Texas, and after the advent of the neo-liberal New World Order.
