Description
The Robert F. Harney Program in Ethnic, Immigration and Pluralism Studies and the SD Clark Chair of Sociology are pleased to invite you to attend a seminar on Muslim immigrants in Canada led by Professor Abdie Kazemipur, University Scholar Research Chair in Social Sciences at the University of Lethbridge and winner of the Canadian Sociological Association’s John Porter Prize for the outstanding book in Canadian sociology, 2015.
Debates about Canadian Muslims have focussed on theology or culture; treated Muslims as a monolithic population; and paid little attention to the specificities of local contexts. As a result, they have oversimplified complex social realities and offered poor guides to policy. Professor Kazemipur overcomes these problems by employing a wide range of socio-economic data to argue for a sociologically grounded account of Muslims in Canada.
Professor Kazemipur’s The Muslim Question in Canada: A Story of Segmented Integration (Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 2014) won the John Porter Prize of the Canadian Sociological Association for the outstanding book in Canadian sociology, 2015.
