Responding to Islamophobia post-Christchurch terror attacks

On 15 March 2019, described by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern as ‘one of the darkest days’ of New Zealand’s history, a man in his 20’s stormed into Al-Noor Mosque and later a second nearby mosque in Christchurch. He killed 50 people and injured as many.

The terrorist attacks targeting the Muslim minority community in New Zealand have brought to fore many questions regarding the rising Islamophobia, spread of extremist right-wing ideologies and narratives, and the toxic political cultures in which they thrive, around the globe.

In the aftermath of this attack, the Centre for Muslim States and Societies is organising a discussion forum to explore how we may be able to deal with Islamophobia and understand the responsibility of the states and citizens.

The discussion will be led by Professor Samina Yasmeen, Director, Centre for Muslim States and Societies, University of Western Australia.

When: Thursday, 21 March 2019

Time: 5pm to 6.30pm

Where: Old Economics and Commerce Conference Room, Room 3.73
