Rhetoric during the 2016 presidential campaign and public opinion polls suggest that anti-Muslim hostility is high in the United States. Does systematic research show this to be the case? Prof. Yukich conducted a field experiment to measure discrimination against Muslims in the U.S. job market, sending fictitious resumes to 1,000 real job openings in eight cities across the U.S. Her research shows that Muslims do face discrimination, and that the amount of discrimination they face depends on their ethnicity and gender. Arab Muslim men have the lowest overall callback rate for jobs, but white women face the greatest penalty for being Muslim compared with their non-Muslim counterparts. This demonstrates that, while public discourse often incorrectly equates Muslims and Arabs, anti-Muslim sentiment affects the lives of a wide swath of American Muslims. Prof. Yukich's talk will present the findings of her ground-breaking research and discuss its consequences for public life.
