Since 2014, IHRC has organised an annual conference in the UK to discuss key issues with regard to structural and institutionalised Islamophobia. Each conference has been co-organised with Scotland Against Criminalising Communities (SACC). Join us for the 11th annual conference this December, online and in-person.
This conference will explore the various restrictions placed on Muslims to suppress their voice and presence in the public sphere. It will examine both state policy, like the UK Gove Initiative on Extremism, censorship efforts in France and Germany, the CAA laws and prohibition of Muslim schools in India, as well actions taken by civil society, including “Doxxing” and social media bans based on content. Finally, this conference will assess potential prescriptives for Muslims to reclaim and reassert their civil rights and civil liberties in societies that claim such principles as cardinal values to liberal democracy.
Dates and times:
This year’s conference will bring together experts in the field over the course of two days for online and in-person discussions:
- Saturday 14 December
- Sunday 15 December
