I am very delighted to share the main output of my work of the last few years: Islamophobia in the National Health Service: an ethnography of institutional racism in PREVENT's counter‐radicalisation policy. My research focus has been: how is prejudice towards Muslims legitimised through policies in healthcare? How can we understand and operationalise institutional racism? You can find the article link here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1467-9566.13047
​

This is empirical work which connects policy, Prevent training and actual Prevent referrals. The purpose is to operationalise Islamophobia as a systemic issue BEYOND overt verbal and physical abuse (hate crime). The key term I would like to bridge in to policies in the War on Terror, especially as we enter 2020, is colour-blindness. I explain how gov efforts to mitigate Islamophobia by pushing CVE towards ‘far-right’ or employing more Muslims doesn’t help—it makes things worse. The paper is unfortunately not open access but do let me know if you’d like to read it. This is a post summarising its content, and I explain its significance given the recent UK election results.
