SummaryBuilding on robust research findings about discrimination against Muslims on campus, this Follow on Fund will help universities to tackle religious, racial and gender discrimination by showing them how to encourage and facilitate difficult discussions, instead of avoiding them. Follow-on funds can address matters that could not be dealt with in the main research project and here we wish to draw attention to: a) racism that goes beyond the Muslim communities on campus, and b) potential opportunities to reduce racism through open yet civil discussions. The findings from AHRC/ESRC 2015-18: Representing Islam on campus AH/M00841X/1 demonstrate that Muslim staff and students are often denied a voice by discriminatory practices and negative stereotypes triggered by skin colour, clothing or other perceived differences. This is a form of silencing or testimonial injustice: Muslim staff believe they are not considered to have opinions worth hearing, discussing or sharing. As such, they self-censor to avoid conflict. Our findings resonate with recent research on National Health Service (NHS) staff of colour, who also report finding themselves ignored or not heard when raising concerns during the COVID-19 crisis. In the AHRC project, we noted similar matters but were unable to explore these as they went beyond the focus of Islam on campus: now it is urgent that they are shared and explored in discussion. So firstly, this Follow on Fund will disseminate our research findings and show the ways in which the student voice is silenced. We will engage key players actively in discussing these findings about Islam using a group discussion approach called Community of Inquiry. This approach facilitates honesty and deliberation in the face of controversial evidence. Providing solid evidence is only part of changing someone's views: engaging actively in discussion about such evidence is also necessary. By such means racism on campus can be recognised and addressed. Secondly, the key finding to which we could not do justice during the project involves addressing broad spectrum racism directed towards those considered different. We were told of covert and overt racism towards Black students and staff, and the negative stereotyping of Jewish students. As the current focus upon inequalities in the NHS resonates with our findings, we will also work with medical students to disseminate our work more widely, on university campuses that also provide medical training. The core team provides expertise in Judaism, Black lives and Islam to support universities. The Community of Inquiry group discussion approach facilitates trust, openness and civility - while always working towards group solutions. We will deliver significant economic, social, cultural and policy impacts by developing this into a training package for students and staff. The unspoken, discriminatory tendencies amongst students and staff can be reduced and replaced with critical dialogues and anti-discriminatory practices.

摘要建设了关于校园中对穆斯林歧视的强大研究结果的概述，这是基金的后续研究，将通过向他们展示如何鼓励和促进难以讨论而不是避免他们，从而帮助大学解决宗教，种族和性别歧视。后续资金可以解决在主要研究项目中无法处理的问题，在这里我们希望引起人们的注意：a）种族主义超出了校园的穆斯林社区，b）通过公开但民事讨论来减少种族主义的潜在机会。 AHRC/ESRC 2015-18的发现：在校园AH/M00841X/1代表伊斯兰教表明，穆斯林的员工和学生经常因歧视​​性做法和由肤色，衣服或其他感知到的差异而触发的歧视性实践和负面的刻板印象被剥夺了声音。这是一种沉默或证明不公正的形式：穆斯林工作人员认为，他们不认为他们有值得听，讨论或分享的意见。因此，他们自我审查以避免冲突。我们的发现引起了最新关于国家卫生服务（NHS）有色人种工作人员的共鸣，他们还报告说，在Covid-19危机期间引起担忧时发现自己被忽略或未听到。在AHRC项目中，我们注意到了类似的事情，但由于它们超出了伊斯兰教在校园的重点，因此无法探索这些问题：现在迫切需要在讨论中分享和探索它们。因此，首先，此之后的基金将传播我们的研究结果，并显示学生声音沉默的方式。我们将使用称为“调查社区”的小组讨论方法来积极地积极地讨论有关伊斯兰教的这些发现。面对有争议的证据，这种方法促进了诚实和审议。提供可靠的证据只是改变某人观点的一部分：也必须积极参与有关此类证据的讨论。通过这种方式，可以认可和解决校园的种族主义。其次，我们在项目期间无法做出正义的关键发现涉及针对针对被认为与众不同的种族主义的广泛种族主义。我们被告知对黑人学生和教职员工的秘密和公开种族主义以及犹太学生的负面刻板印象。随着目前对NHS中不平等现象的关注引起了我们的发现，我们还将与医学生合作，在大学校园中更广泛地传播我们的工作，这也提供医学培训。核心团队在犹太教，黑人生活和伊斯兰教方面提供专业知识来支持大学。探究小组讨论方法的社区促进了信任，开放和文明，同时始终致力于小组解决方案。我们将通过将其发展为针对学生和员工的培训计划，从而产生重大的经济，社会，文化和政策影响。可以减少学生和员工之间不言而喻的歧视性倾向，并通过关键的对话和反歧视性实践来替代。
