<div align="left" style="margin: 0px;"><font face="Calibri" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="en-GB">This panel aims to examine the ways in which which discourses—be it in the media, popular culture, political
speeches and communiqués, government/official statements, etc.—on ethnic and religious minorities are often framed by gender and sexuality. In part, the panel hopes to shed light on how processes of gendered racialization, racialized sexuality, racialized
sexism, and/or sexualized racism are deployed in a variety of discourses on ethnoreligious minorities and the impact of such representations. In doing so, the panel seeks to better understand the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality in representations
of ethnic and religious minorities. Papers examining counter-discourses in the public sphere are particularly welcome.
