Professor Devji will present a critique of "Islamophobia" as an analytical category, and situates European controversies over Islam within a historical context defined by the end of the Cold War and the establishment of the EU. It also inquires into the globalisation of Islam and asks what kind of threat it poses European structures of state and governance.
