Islamophobia Studies Yearbook

The Islamophobia Studies Yearbook is a bilingual periodical that started as a German language journal and has been offering articles in German and English since 2010. The journal uses double blind peer review and provides a forum for interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the phenomenon of Islamophobia.

Case studies and analyses of contemporary incidents from the realm of media, politics, law, and discrimination are as much welcome as are theoretical reflections. The Yearbook intends to present the most current perspectives on a growing phenomenon that needs serious attention.

The YfI has been published since 2010, initially by Studienverlag and since 2012 by the newly founded publisher New Academic Press.

The Islamophobia Studies Yearbook publishes complete articles, research notes, reports, and reviews. The notion of 'Islamophobia' is used rather broadly and includes all the different terminologies and conceptions used in the discussion of anti-Muslim racism, such as Islamophobia, anti-Islamism, anti-Muslim racism, etc.

The Islamophobia Studies Yearbook is a multidisciplinary journal, offering space for empirical as well as theoretical research on Islamophobia. Important is the research of the phenomenon of Islamophobia on theoretical as well as empirical levels.

To be considered for review, all texts must be previously unpublished (in the same language) and represent an author's own work. Moreover, for articles to be published they have to meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Presentation of new theoretical insights
• New empirical interpretations of already existing theories
• Empirical results of academic interest
• Critical reflection of academic work at a high scientific level

A reflection on recent events is especially welcome but not necessary. Phenomena from the past year receive special attention in a yearbook context.
