Conference: Racism, Islamophobia And Anti-Arab Discrimintiaion Conference

Date:	Thursday, February 25, 2010
Time:	12:00pm - 9:30pm
Location:	Jack Adams Hall, Cesar Chavez Student Center, San Francisco State University

FREE

A Mini Conference brought to you by:

The Arab Cultural and Community Center, The Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Initiative at SFSU, Africana Studies SFSU, the Black Student Union at SFSU, the College of Ethnic Studies SFSU the General Union of Palestinian Students at SFSU and the Muslim Student Association at SFSU


This event has been coordinated to examine the complexities of the historical and current intersections between primarily Black, Muslim and Arab communities in the US. The series of sessions particularly aims to contribute to developing a more nuanced discourse about the historical relationships of solidarity, activism, and shared experiences of racialization, marginalization and censorship within these communities. We believe by identifying historical patterns of racialization and contemporary similarities among the experiences of communities of color, we are able empower our communities by challenging conventional narratives in academic, political, and cultural institutions and asserting our own narratives while simultaneously building joint struggle. We also believe this discourse enhances our abilities to provide alternative, ethical, efficient, justice centered and relevant frameworks of activism, academia, service providing and curriculum development for our communities at large. These paradigms thus challenge the systems of abuse, entrapment, fear and isolation facing our communities in the modern US political landscape.

No cost.

You may attend all or any of the sessions throughout the day.
