Congratulations Tasneem Alsayyed

The Philosophy department's own Tasneem Alsayyed just published their essay "Old Epistemic Vices and Islamophobia in Martha Nussbaum's The New Religious Intolerance" in the March edition of Hypatia. 

In this essay, Alsayyed critiques Martha Nussbaum (The New Religious Intolerance, 2012) as contributing to Islamophobia. Alsayyed notes that they "draw on the work of Audre Lorde and other feminist scholars of colour to express the harms of excluding Muslim voices and misusing Western/white voices in their place. Recalling Edward Said, Marilyn Frye, and María Lugones, I argue that Nussbaum's text is a classic example of Orientalism and various forms of colonial discourse."
