Location: <\/strong>Alumni Board Room, Mason Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Hopkins graduate students interested in a conversation with Mohamed Amjahid<\/em> about racism, immigration, LGBTQ communities in Europe, North Africa, and the United States are welcome to join.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch will be provided. Please\u00a0RSVP<\/a>\u00a0by October 27th<\/sup>, 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a freelance investigative journalist,\u00a0Mohamed Amjahid<\/a>\u00a0regularly covers topics such as racism and police violence in Germany, the upheavals in the Middle East and North Africa as well as far-right and “anti-woke” politics in the US and their global impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, Amjahid wrote a critical piece on the history of\u00a0Quran burnings in Europe<\/em><\/a>\u00a0for the weekly\u00a0Der Spiegel\u00a0<\/em>and articles on patriarchal, heteronormative, anti-LGBTQ+ policies in the US and Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amjahid is also the author of\u00a0Among Whites. What It Means to Be Privileged<\/em>\u00a0(Hanser Berlin, 2017) and\u00a0Whitewash: A Guide to Antiracist Thinking<\/em>\u00a0(Piper, 2021), which received much popular and critical acclaim. Last year, he published a compelling travelogue,\u00a0Let’s Talk about Sex, Habibi. Love and Desire from Casablanca to Cairo<\/em>\u00a0(Piper), which offers a nuanced portray of the region and challenges Western stereotypes and prejudices against Muslims.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop is part of the event series \u201cQuestions of Belonging. Agency, Erasure, and Visibility in Germany and the US,\u201d which is generously funded by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Department of History as well as the JHU programs in Racism, Immigration, and Citizenship, Jewish Studies, and Women, Gender, Sexuality.<\/p>\n\n\n
