Filmed in 2019, “Resisting Islamophobia in France” is a documentary featuring Islam Channel’s producer Samira Oulaillah who went to meet and interview French Muslims in Paris who are anti-Islamophobia advocates. Coming from all walks of life, their aim is to ultimately bring justice to Muslims who experience racial and Islamophobic discrimination in France. |

This talk explores a series of photographs taken by a French photographer in Sudan in 1882. The photographs explores racial types for the "enlightenment" of the French government, yet reveal so much more about Khartoum society at a critical time in the city's history. |

This talk explores why violence against Indonesia’s Muslim minority sects—specifically the Ahmadiyah sect and the Shi’a sect—unexpectedly emerged and escalated over the past two decades. Demonstrating how the occupation of public space by Muslim minorities were perceived as a challenge to Sunni Muslim dominance and how decentralization reforms incentivized political actors to engage in conflict, this talk identifies factors driving Indonesia’s shift towards illiberalism. In doing so, it speaks to broader concerns about the state of democracy in the world today. |

The 1979 Revolution gave birth to a political order that defined God as its greatest protector and Satan as its ultimate foe. While scholars have long grappled with the Islamic Republic’s theological master narratives, Satan’s multifaceted role in the Iranian political and religious landscape remains poorly understood. In this talk, I offer an analysis of a range of sources— textual, ethnographic, and audiovisu- al—to argue that in the past two decades, confrontations with the Accursed One have fragmented into contradictory, anxiety-ridden struggles for the soul of the Islamic Republic. |
