In this interfaith roundtable discussion, our speakers, who work locally and internationally as Muslim and Christian faith-based activists, academics, and leaders, will draw links between local and global forms of racial, religious, and gendered violence and the practices and policies of the Canadian state. The talks will identify some of the theoretical and practical ways in which the state manages religious difference and enshrines practices of “racial management” and power. The talks will provide critical perspectives on the interdependent relationships of colonialism, racism, religious and gendered violence against women. This event will be followed by a moderated discussion between speakers and attendees. We invite academics, community organizers, religious and spiritual leaders to join us in making visible the links between gendered violence, war, and empire in our world today.
