As part of the undergraduate course on Islamophobia, students are asked to form small groups and formulate a relevant research project relating to Islamophobia. Students have conducted surveys regarding Islamophobic hiring practices in the Bay Area, surveying UC Berkeley campus attitudes on Muslims and also on the hijab, examined the effects of Islamophobia on Bay Area Muslim communities post 9/11, analyzed political cartoons from the Iranian Revolution to the current period, made short documentaries, examined articles on the Ground Zero Mosque and Fort Hood shooting for Islamophobic rhetoric and explored the existence of Islamophobia in the military.
