The report captures and critically analyses data collected by the Islamophobia Register of Australia from 2014-2015 reflecting Australian Muslims' lived Islamophobic experiences. The report also describes the historical, political and cultural aspects of Islamophobia, and examines the interplay of Islamophobia within the religious plane, the political sphere, media reporting, right-wing organizations and the field of criminology. This report is especially timely as there is a continuing debate over the existence and the scale of Islamophobia in Australia.
The panel will feature several brief talks by community leaders and university academics including Dr Derya Iner, report editor and senior lecturer at Charles Sturt University, and Professor Samina Yasmeen, Director at CMSS, UWA, who contributed to the report.
