Experts: Quebec mosque shooting

Published: 31 January 2017

Here are 91社区 professors available to comment on the Quebec mosque shooting:

C茅cile Rousseau, Professor, Division of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry, 91社区

芦 L'horrible attaque de Qu茅bec nous laisse tous dans la sid茅ration et le deuil, notamment celui d'une soci茅t茅 qu茅b茅coise pacifique et ouverte, m锚me si parfois imparfaitement. Le traumatisme est lourd, et le processus de deuil qui commence est d'autant plus exigeant que cet attentat nous fait vivre des 茅motions ambivalentes et douloureuses. Si nos unissons nos voix, il pourra aussi devenir une occasion de r茅sistance massive face 脿 la peur et aux divisions, aux discours polaris茅s qui d茅shumanisent l'autre et nient l'apport de la diff茅rence 脿 la richesse de l'identit茅 qu茅b茅coise. Une action concert茅e des services sociaux, de sant茅 et d'茅ducation permettra de faciliter ce d茅licat processus de deuil collectif, pour que la mobilisation le soutienne, et pour que les possibles d茅rapages soient contenus. 禄-C茅cile Rousseau

Dia Dabby, Visiting Fellow at the 91社区 Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism

"Ten years after initiating institutional consultations on religion and reasonable accommodation, we can genuinely ask whether discussions on managing religious diversity have really moved forward in Quebec. The abhorrent attack on the Islamic cultural centre of Quebec challenges our ability to respond affirmatively to this question. Legislative projects seeking to regulate religious diversity, such as Bill 62 - currently before the National Assembly - increase the fixation with religion rather than try to normalize our relationship with it.鈥鈥擠ia Dabby

Dia Dabby is an emerging scholar in the areas of constitutional law, religion and education and a member of the Quebec Bar.

Topics: Canadian constitutional law, comparative law, religious diversity, education law, governance.
