In many European states, multiculturalism has recently come under attack, being openly questioned by many in both the public and political spaces as being in ¿crisis¿. Prompting many of these attacks have been incidents or events - typically interpreted as ¿controversies¿ - that have involved or centred on issues relating to Muslims or Islam.

In many European states, multiculturalism has recently come under attack, being openly questioned by many in both the public and political spaces as being in ¿crisis¿.

Autorenporträt
Chris is a Lecturer in the Institute of Applied Social Studies at the University of Birmingham. For more than a decade, Chris has been at the forefront of academic research into the phenomenon of Islamophobia. Having completed his Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded doctoral studies that explored the discourse and theory of the phenomenon at Birmingham, he has since gone on to develop research that has had social, political and public appeal. As well as appearing regularly in the media, in recent years Chris has worked alongside Government in an advisory capacity. Having submitted both written and oral evidence to the House of Lords Select Committee on Religious Offences and the All Party Parliamentary Group on Islamophobia, Chris also sits in an independent capacity on the Anti-Muslim Hatred Working Group based in the Department for Communities & Local Government. In 2010, Ashgate published Chris¿s critically acclaimed book, "Islamophobia". In addition to this, Chris publishes regularly on that topic and other key issues facing contemporary Muslim communities. As well as the UK, Chris has published in a number of different countries including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland and the United States. He was also co-author of the now seminal EUMC report into Islamophobia in Europe after 9/11, still the largest monitoring project to have been undertaken into the phenomenon of Islamophobia. As well as Islamophobia, his other research interests include: the role of faith and religion in the public and political spaces; diversity, multiculturalism and super-diversity; and equalities legislation, policy and practice.
