Baroness Warsi to Deliver Third Hennessy Lecture on Islamophobia

Titled “Muslims Don’t Matter: The Anatomy of a Prejudice,” the lecture will explore contemporary challenges facing Muslim communities and draw insights from Baroness Sayeeda Warsi’s latest book.

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, former Cabinet minister and prominent commentator on Islamophobia, will be the guest speaker at the Third Hennessy Lecture, set to take place on February 4, 2025, at Queen Mary University of London.

The lecture, titled “Muslims Don’t Matter: The Anatomy of a Prejudice,” will explore the challenges of Islamophobia in contemporary society, drawing from her new book of the same name.

Baroness Warsi, who made history as the first Muslim woman to serve in a British Cabinet during the 2010-2015 coalition government, has held various key political roles, including as party Chair and Minister for Faith and Communities. In her lecture, she will reflect on her experiences and offer insight into the rising tide of prejudice facing Muslim communities.

As a leading voice on matters of faith and identity, Warsi’s previous works, including “The Enemy Within: A Tale of Muslim Britain,” have sparked important conversations about the integration of Muslims in Britain.

The Hennessy Lectures, organized by Queen Mary University’s Mile End Institute, aim to honor the life and legacy of historian Peter Hennessy. These lectures offer a platform for distinguished speakers to reflect on pivotal issues affecting British society and politics.

The event will be held at the Skeel Lecture Theatre, The People’s Palace, on the university’s Mile End campus, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. Attendance is free, but prior registration is required. For more details and to reserve a place, visit Queen Mary University of London’s website.
