New Research on Muslims in Europe (HARVARD)

This session features three innovative recent comparative studies of the marginalization, stigmatization and discrimination of Muslims in various European settings. Drawing on ethnographic data, interviews, surveys and textual analysis, the authors challenge Eurocentric notions about freedom and equality to reveal current manifestations of the marginality of Muslims in European cities, regions, and nations. This session should be of interest to social scientists wishing to update their understanding of the changing boundaries of European societies.
