«Overproblematised and Underrepresented: Muslim Women in Academic Spaces» - Keynote by Faten Khazaei for the national conference «Racism and Higher Education»
In this episode of Missing Chapters, we feature the keynote «Overproblematised and Underrepresented: Muslim Women in Academic Spaces» by Faten Khazaei, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Northumbria University. The keynote was delivered at the national conference «Racism and Higher Education».
- Khazaei examines the contradictory position of Muslim women in academic spaces: while they are often rendered visible as a “problem” in public, political, and institutional discourses, they remain underrepresented as knowledge producers. She focuses on anti-Muslim racism and the ways in which universities reproduce racialised epistemic orders and hierarchies through diversity policies and extractive research practices.
The keynote asks how universities can move beyond symbolic representation towards more inclusive, plural, and power-critical forms of knowledge production.
This episode explores:
The contradictory visibility of Muslim women - Anti-Muslim racism and academic belonging
- Racialised and colonial knowledge orders
- Counter-terrorism, diversity policies, and extractive research
- Possibilities for structural transformation
