SUMMARY:Muslim Studies Program 14th Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:
 Global Islamophobia and the News Media, Entertainment 
 Media, and Social Media\n
 \n
 Michigan State 
 University is hosting an international conference 
 on Global Islamophobia and the News 
 Media, Entertainment Media, and Social Media. 
 This conference will present work related to 
 Muslim portrayals in the media (e.g., news, 
 entertainment, social media) and evaluate how 
 Islamophobia manifests on these platforms.\n
 \n
 Significance 
 of theme: The media is an important 
 conduit for conveying messages to the 
 public, shaping public attitudes, influencing 
 the national discourse, and generating stereotypes. 
 Past research suggests the ways in which 
 outgroups are represented in the media impacts 
 the public's perceptions, attitudes, and 
 behaviors toward them, as well as shaping support 
 for policies that harm members of these 
 outgroups. Scholarship is only now beginning 
 to extend this line of research to Muslims, 
 and to specifically explore how the media is 
 shaping discrimination against Muslims globally.
