The conference addresses questions of the relationship between liberalism (and neo-liberalism) and Islamophobia. We particularly will have presentations that respond to the following themes:

-What is the relation between the discourse of ‘take our country back’ and the post-Cold war liberal political order?

-What intellectual and political resources and possibilities now exist for imagining the West in contravention of Islamophobia?

-Is the presence of the non-white, culturally unassimilable, rights bearing subject a political problem for western liberalism?

-What is the relationship between neo-liberal economic policies and rise of Islamophobia?
