Anti muslim racism workshop 2.0

Workshop description: In this workshop, we will first review key concepts related to racism, with a particular focus on the concept of anti-Muslim racism. Building on this, we will continue the discussions and questions from the last session. The focus will be on different manifestations of anti-Muslim racism and their impact on gender and sexuality. We will then look at anti-Muslim urbanism and homonationalism and discuss how these dynamics shape and influence urban space. A particular aim of the workshop is to promote a deeper understanding of the structural and everyday expressions of anti-Muslim racism and to encourage critical self-reflection on one’s own social positioning.
