Abstract

Islamophobia is anti-Muslim racism and a small body of work has developed in geography focusing on spaces of Islamophobia with reference to religion, gender, and politics. I build upon this literature to consider my own attempts at practising anti-Islamophobic geographies through diverse forms of public geographies. including the work of the Cross Party Group on Tackling Islamophobia in the Scottish Parliament and the findings of an inquiry into Islamophobia in Scotland that was facilitated through this group. I conclude by critically reflecting upon anti-racist scholar activism and consider some of the ways in which we should practise anti-Islamophobic geographies.
