Living in a Western country in the Global North, it is often difficult to view social justice outside of the walls of our familiar political system.
Envisioning Social Justice From the Margins was an eye-opening educational event that discussed viewing social justice as a collective aim. The lecture was conducted through dialogue about the divisions between the Eastern and Western fronts of the World.
Hosted by SFU Public Square, the event featured lecturer and professor of anthropology Parin Dossa. Dr. Dossa’s research centres on topics of migration and diaspora, with a focus on gender, health, and the circumstances of Iranian and Ismaili Muslim communities. She takes on an ethnographic narrative (examining stories) to foster a more intimate understanding of the impacts of war and its structural violence.

If Muslims are outsiders in Europe, why do so many expats love their countries? 09 Min Read
When I heard the news that Tunisian man committed a terrorist attack in Nice in October, I was startled by the timing. Just two weeks prior, I was travelling throughout the north African country, absorbing the Islamic architecture against the crêperies from France, once an occupier.
France’s Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron declared that it is “France which is under attack,” while the Interior Minister stated “we’re at war, against an enemy who is both inside and outside,” hinting at the country’s six million Muslims and their values.
MONTREAL For Rameez Karim, dancing is a meditative experience. An Ismaili Muslim, born in East Africa but raised in Montreal, Karim says dancing keeps him connected to his faith. “I believe that art and dance is a form of knowledge and Islam places so much importance on harnessing different kinds of information,” he said. While growing up, it was sometimes difficult for Karim to feel connected to his heritage. But movement and rhythm has been a path to enlightenment. “Movement is something that is so innate in us. We move before we can speak,” he said. “It s a form of information that allows us to connect to our spiritual side and explain profound experiences that we seek to touch on on our journey to enlightenment.”
