Understanding everyday experiences of othering and discrimination in Britain: focus on mosque staff and minority-owned business

The proposed dissertation follows a three-paper format. The articles represent the distinct but interrelated strands of research; The first paper discusses the everyday hate crime experiences of mosques staffs which located in the UK and the transformation of the British Muslim community into a “suspect community”. The second paper deals with the antagonistic attacks and conflicts faced by mosques, which are the identity of the British Muslim community in the public sphere, in terms of typology and ethnic enclave. The third paper discusses minority business owners' everyday experiences of racism and discrimination. All three pieces focus on the everyday experiences of othering and discrimination of the British Muslim community and other visible minorities.
