SUMMARY:"Violence, Resistance, and Identity Politics from Ferguson to Paris"
DESCRIPTION:
 The Muslim Studies Program presents their Contexts 
 of Freedom Series. This panel discussion 
 is titled "Violence, Resistance, and Identity 
 Politics from Ferguson to Paris."\n
 \n
 Drawing 
 from recent events of violence and resistance 
 in the US and France (Ferguson and Charlie 
 Hebdo), MSU and UM-Dearborn scholars lead a 
 roundtable dialogue around the comparative and 
 global contexts of freedom. They discuss racial 
 bias in police brutality, social resistance 
 to racial violence, and state repression 
 in various cities in the US, as well as the rarely 
 discussed and examined racialized subtexts 
 of the Charlie Hebdo incidence in Paris. 
 Roundtable panelists will examine the larger 
 context of racial inequality (economic, political, 
 social, and cultural) mediated by identity 
 politics in multicultural and diasporic societies 
 in global contexts.\n
 \n
 Panelists: Yael 
 Aronoff, Lisa Biggs, Jennifer Cobbina, Kenneth 
 Harrow, Austin Jackson, Ahmad Rahman, and 
 Chezare Warren\n
