Yasmin Jiwani is a full professor in the Department of Communication Studies and a Concordia University research chair on intersectionality, violence and resistance. Her research focuses on a critical interrogation of the ways that racist-sexism is conceptualized and ideologically utilized in popular discourse. The particular sites she has examined include media reportage of violence against Indigenous and racialized immigrant women, representations of Indigenous and Muslim youth in the popular press, and discourses of resistance by marginalized groups in film and other popular media. Her recent project is centred on cyber-memorials and virtual graveyards as reflections of the vernacular. She is the author of Discourses of Denial: Race, Gender and Violence and co-editor of Girlhood: Redefining the Limits and Faces of Violence in the Lives of Girls.
