Systemic Islamophobia Research Lab (SIRL)
The Issue
Systemic islamophobia as enabled by government practices significantly affects many across Canada. But the bureaucratic dynamics that clothe systemic islamophobia as ordinary - if not respectable - policy remains understudied in Canada.
The Project Objective
A sustained research lab on systemic Islamophobia in Canada will examine various sites of systemic islamophobia in government policies and practices. The lab will publish its findings through open-access platforms to enable a more informed Canadian citizenry.
