Religious Freedom at Risk? Islam, Europe and the Right to Act on Faith
Speaker: Dr. Melanie Adrian, Dept. of Law and Legal Studies, Carleton University
Description: Religious freedom has been increasingly under attack in France in the last 10 years. In 2004, religious symbols were banned in public high schools, and in 2011, covering the face in public spaces was prohibited. These measures were largely a response to, and have disproportionately affected, Muslim communities – especially Muslim women. They may also be jeopardizing pluralism, democracy, and certain conceptions of freedom.
