Prof. Moustafa Bayoumi will examine the ways the media, law, and politics mutually reinforce each other in viewing Muslims as potentially dangerous outsiders.
The Multicultural Center (MCC) presents a diversity lecture by Moustafa Bayoumi, author of the award-winning books "How Does It Feel To Be a Problem? Being Young and Arab in America" and "This Muslim American Life: Dispatches from the War on Terror." He will examine the ways the media, law, and politics mutually reinforce each other in viewing Muslims as potentially dangerous outsiders. Bayoumi will also address a growing "War on Terror counterculture," that, by resisting the stereotypes and challenging the prevailing narratives of the "War on Terror," fights not only for the rights of Muslim Americans but for the civil liberties of all. Professor Bayoumi teaches English at Brooklyn College.
Co-presented by the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Academic Policy, and the Office of Equal Opportunity and Sexual Harassment/ Title IX Compliance.
