Troubling Transnational Solidarities: Disrupting Islamophobic Pedagogies

• In Event: Poster Sessions

Abstract

In this poster session, I explore how the uncritical inclusion of Muslims’ cultural artifacts that aims at promoting a sense of tolerance for the Other has contributed to fetishizing Muslims and their cultures. I argue that these democratic practices of inclusivity disguise imperialist discourses. As such, I propose pedagogical conceptualizations and practices that disrupt these racist pedagogies, which are contributing to troubling forms of solidarity.
