The educational display, titled "Ungrievable Lives: Islamophobia Past and Present," in the Department of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Human Rights, Kelley Memorial Building, Room 115, has been extended to October 25.

The display explores the origins of Islamophobia, its widespread effects, and the vital importance of addressing it within our university community.

Event highlights:

• In-depth presentations: Discover the historical roots of Islamophobia, orientalism, and anti-Arab racism, examining how it has evolved over time and how it manifests in our daily lives and institutions.
• Case studies: Delve into how the war on Palestine and the War on Terrorism exemplify Islamophobia in action, shaping public perception, policy decisions, and global narratives about Muslims and Arabs.
• Interactive discussions: Engage in meaningful conversations about the significance of recognizing and combating Islamophobia, and how it can foster a more inclusive campus environment.

Why understanding Islamophobia matters:

Understanding Islamophobia is crucial for several reasons:

1. Combatting stereotypes: By recognizing the origins and impacts of Islamophobia, we can challenge harmful stereotypes that perpetuate discrimination and division. This understanding helps us foster empathy and respect among diverse communities.
2. Promoting inclusivity: Universities are places for learning and growth. Addressing Islamophobia is essential for creating an inclusive environment where all students feel safe, valued, and able to express their identities.
3. Global perspectives: Islamophobia affects millions worldwide, particularly in conflict areas. By studying its manifestations, such as in the war on Palestine and the war on terrorism, we gain insights into broader issues of human rights, justice, and global solidarity.

The northeast entrance of the Kelley Memorial Building features an automatic door with a 36-inch clearance. The door swings outward and leads to a ramp that is 62 inches wide. Please note that the ramp makes a sharp right turn, after which the width reduces to 36 inches.

At the end of the ramp, you will find the exhibit entrance, which has a door clearance of 32 inches and a small bump at the threshold. We encourage all visitors to reach out if you require additional assistance or have any questions regarding accessibility.

It鈥檚 time to get spooky! Celebrate Halloween and el d铆a de los muertos with a Robertson Library movie night. Visit the library to vote for your favourite popcorn flick.

Eye and face protection is vitally important in workspaces that may pose risk of injury or harmful exposure to a worker鈥檚 eyes or face such as 

• flying objects, particles, and dust (e.g., grinding, cutting, hammering, sawing)
• splashes (including droplets and sprays) from chemicals and biological material
• radiation (e.g., welding) and lasers
• abrasive and molten material

In 2021, eye protection became mandatory in 大发快三彩票laboratories as a measure to ensure the safety of all laboratory workers. The details of eye and face protection can be found on the site including a 大发快三彩票Eye and Face Protection Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Each supervisor will be responsible for including eye and face protection in all applicable site-specific SOPs. 

For any questions or concerns please contact hse@upei.ca for assistance.
