Muslim audiences in Ireland: Perspectives from below on racialized media representation and their impact
Based on fieldwork undertaken with Muslim communities in Dublin, Ireland, this article adds new insights on media reportage as received by Muslim audiences. Utilising agenda setting theory, we evidence how dominant representations of otherness are constructed and received. Participants reveal their perspectives on the perceived dominant discourses of racialised media representations of Muslimness and Islam, and their impacts on both Muslim and no…
Navigating the Blurred Racialised Space of Social Housing: Insights From Muslim Communities and Local Authority Staff in Ireland
Racial inequalities, although at times covert and subtle, are among the most persistent discriminatory factors shaping the social domain of housing. Ireland's housing crisis has contributed to the reproduction of such inequalities affecting racialised communities. This paper draws on extensive qualitative research with Irish local authority staff ( n =69) and with members of Ireland's Muslim communities ( n = 193) to explore their perspectives an…
Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism studies: Review and prospect
In this paper, we review work about Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism in ethnic and racial studies – and in neighbouring disciplines – identifying key trends in research. In particular, we draw attention to important work focusing on genealogies and definitions of Islamophobia, on the importance of racialisation and on the location of Islamophobia. In proposing an agenda for future scholarship, we focus on the potential to advance research abou…
Critical racial literacy and public sociology: Visibilizing race among local authorities in Ireland
Ireland is no stranger to racisms in their various forms. To the historical can be added the recent increased visibility of violent racist acts and an intensifying, broader climate of racism targeting those deemed as Other in Ireland. These contextual insights underscore the urgent need for public authorities to take the initiative and meaningfully engage in antiracist strategies. Following racial literacy theorists, we apply critical racial lite…
Rethinking gendered anti-Muslim racism in a relational matrix of race and gender
Gendered ideas of Muslims and Islam are one of the central organising principles of anti-Muslim racism. However, discussions around gendered anti-Muslim racism often ignore ‘Muslim men’ as a gendered category despite ideas about ‘Muslim women’ being constructed in direct relation to (often implicitly assumed presence of) their male counterparts. As problematised by Alimahomed-Wilson (2020), historical anti-Muslim racist representations of Muslim …

Inclusion through football: The case of Diverse City FC
In this piece we document how a football club has proved to be an important mechanism of integration for young Muslim women in Ireland. As has been evidenced elsewhere,[1] and discussed in this piece, Islamophobia is a reality in Irish society, whether as proximal lived experiences of hostility and discrimination, or as structural elements that deploy anti-Muslim tropes. In the face of such exclusion, young Muslim individuals, supported by local …
Islamophobia, Neoliberalism and the Muslim ‘Other’
Muslim communities have been racialized as ‘Other’ for over 1,400 years.1 The manner in which the figure of the Muslim has been invoked as a threat across the centuries demonstrates the importance of recognizing the ideological context if we are to fully understand the nuances of Islamophobic ‘thinking.’ The aim of this paper is to situate the Islamophobia of today within neoliberalism as the globally dominant, hegemonic ideology of our time.2 As…
A micro-place evaluation of the relationship between ‘risky places’ and risk perceptions
The movement towards micro-place level assessments has contributed to the growing popularity of place-based police strategies. Complementing this movement, risk terrain modeling (RTM) is a methodological approach that identifies a micro-place’s vulnerability to crime by considering the combined spatial influences of physical features of the landscape linked to criminal behavior, along with past crime exposure. Given the growing popularity of this…
Muslim Dilemmas in the Republic of Ireland: Anti-Extremism and Self-Regulation in the Context of Super-Diversity
Since the 1990s, a very small Muslim community in the Republic of Ireland has expanded rapidly and become increasingly diverse. For all that research has identified growing expressions of anti-Muslim racism, mainstream Irish political discourse and political responses to Ireland’s Muslim communities have not reflected the antipathy towards Islam that is identifiable in a number of other European countries. The response of the Irish state towards …
Hate crime: An overview of significance and relevance to Irish sociology
The authors of this article had been working on the issue of hate crime from within frustrated disciplinary silos: from a sociological perspective, and from a legal perspective. In 2012, however, we began to discuss potential avenues for interdisciplinary research: tentative at first, and then with increasing energy and determination. In September 2014, the Hate and Hostility Research Group at the University of Limerick launched A Life Free From …
A Clash of Racializations: The Policing of 'Race' and of Anti-Muslim Racism in Ireland
National manifestations of anti-Muslim racism reflect both transnational and local self-imaginings and relations of power. In this article, Carr and Haynes present Irish anti-Muslim racism as exemplifying the confluence of such forces. They argue that Muslims are caught in a clash of racializations; in this instance, between exclusionary Irishness and racialized Muslimness. Both operate to expose Muslims to racist activity while concomitantly exc…
