ISLAMOPHOBIA AND WHITE SUPREMACY with DR. SALMAN SAYYID
Student Center Theater
Sondra and David S. Mack Student Center, North Campus
"Islamophobia is often seen as a problem affecting Muslim minorities, but it also threatens an inclusive and sustainable future for all. The systems of surveillance and restriction used to control Muslims can be redeployed and redirected to other targets and these interventions risk reversing the achievements of multicultural civil rights. Despite their contextual variety, Islamophobia facilitates assertions of national security, cultural integrity, and social cohesion, which trump demands for diversity, liberty, and justice."
This event is FREE and open to the public. To RSVP visit, events.hofstra.edu or call the Hofstra Cultural Center at 516-463-5669.
DR. SALMAN SAYYID is professor of social theory and decolonial thought and previously head of the School of Sociology and Social Policy at University of Leeds, UK.
