Abstract
TheAssociation ofMuslim Social Scientists of NorthAmerica (AMSS) heldits fourth annual Canadian Regional Conference in Toronto at the OntarioInstitute for Studies in Education (OISE) on 1 November 2008. This event,whichwas cosponsored by the Department ofAdult Education and CounselingPsychology (OISE) and the Women and Gender Studies Institute at theUniversity of Toronto, was coordinated by Jasmin Zine (Wilfrid Laurier)and Maliha Chishti (OISE). The keynote address was presented by AnnRusso (DePaul University).The theme of this year’s conference, “Imperialist Wars and LiberalPeace,” brought together a group of scholars to critically engage the natureof the new imperialist wars that are being waged on a smaller scale. Fromthe “war on terror” to the various forms of intra-state warfare, participantssought to address how a viable peace and prosperity can be achieved for amajority of the world’s people, rather than just for an elite minority.During the morning plenary session, “Imperialist ‘Obsession’ withHate: A Critique of the Film ‘Obsession: Radical Islam’s War against theWest,’” conference chair Shahrzad Mojab (OISE) questioned the means bywhich social institutions contribute to violence in our society. Shirley Steinberg(McGill) recalled receiving the film in her issue of the Chronicle ofHigher Learning. For her and other scholars on the panel, the ClarionFund’s distribution abroad in the film was a clear example of the rampantIslamophobia of the post-9/11 world. Referring to this as an “exoticizingand terrorizing” of the Islamic andArab peoples, she proposed a letter writingcampaign to mobilize against Islamophobia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
