About the ISJ
The Islamophobia Studies Journal is a biannual publication that focuses on the critical analysis of Islamophobia and its multiple manifestations in our contemporary moment. ISJis an interdisciplinary and multilingual academic journal that encourages submissions that theorizes the historical, political, economic, and cultural phenomenon of Islamophobia in relation to the construction, representation, and articulation of “Otherness.”The ISJis an open scholarly exchange, exploring new approaches, methodologies, and contemporary issues. The ISJencourages submissions that closely interrogate the ideological, discursive, and epistemological frameworks employed in processes of “Otherness” the complex social, political, economic, gender, sexual, and religious forces that are intimately linked in the historical production of the modern world from the dominance of the colonial/imperial north to the postcolonial south. At the heart of ISJis an intellectual and collaborative project between scholars, researchers, and community agencies to recast the production of knowledge about Islamophobia away from a dehumanizing and subordinating framework to an emancipatory and liberatory one for all peoples in this farreaching and unfolding domestic and global process.
