Surveillance and the Global War on Terror: Muslims and 21st-Century Racism

Thu. Mar. 7 12:00 PM - Thu. Mar. 7 01:25 PM
Location: Via Zoom

September 11th and the Global War on Terror triggered the implementation of a series of counterterrorism laws in the United States and globally. While Muslims are racially, ethnically and culturally unique, the justification for these laws and policies has relied on the racialization of Muslim men as a threat to national security and Muslim women as a threat to cultural norms. The racialization of Muslims through their hyper surveillance in the United States, the UK, India, and China as a result of the Global War on Terror is examined in this presentation, exemplifying 21st century racism.
