Islamophobia: What is in a name? Analysis of
US Press Coverage of the Term after 9/11
Using the coverage in the U.S. newspapers post September
11, 2001, this talk will uncover the multifaceted use of the
term, "Islamophobia". Even though the term Islamophobia
was used commonly in the U.S. press after 9/11, Dr. Mohamed
argues that, owing to its multiple definitions, Islamophobia
became an ambiguous term.
