> Islam, Political Islam, and Islamophobia: An International Conference

> To be held on March 29-30, 2013 at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA
>
> Muslims representing all strata of society throughout the world face an
> extraordinary degree of negative attention from both public and government
> eyes often resulting in discriminatory practices. These practices, born of
> stereotypical descriptions and definitions of Islam and Muslims, are
> connotative of the level of fear and hatred in many parts of the world
> when topics concerning this religion and its adherents arise. The upcoming
> conference will attempt to clarify this phenomenon by examining
> intersections between Islam, political Islam, Islamophobia, and human
> rights. How does Islamophobia resemble other forms of social prejudice,
> and in what ways does it differ? What is the political function of
> Islamophobia? To what degree and in what ways is Islamophobia fed by the
> actions of political Islam? To what degree does the politicization of
> Islam exacerbate the victimization of Muslims? To what degree do the
> militant operations of political Islam serve as an excuse for those who
> intend to legitimize and institutionalize prejudice against Muslims? To
> what degree is prejudice a result of ignorance or lack of understanding of
> Islam and its followers? This conference invites all scholars of relevant
> disciplines for an in-depth theoretical, analytical, conceptual, and
> historical examination of Islamophobia. Proposals showing signs of
> polemics, propaganda, conspiracy theories, binary dichotomies, such as
> Arabs vs. Jews, East vs. West, Muslims vs. Christians, Israelis vs.
> Palestinians, and the like will be rejected. The medium of the conference
> will be English. However, a small number of papers in Turkish will also be
> considered due to the advanced instructional needs of Indiana Universitys
> Turkish Language Program.
