UBC professor crilsefeed for her dissenting opinions on Sept. 11 By Ailey Kato THE WESTERN FRONT Dr. Sunera Thobani, a wom-ens studies professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, was personally attacked by the media after sharing her views on the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 in a Canadian women's conference in October 2001. Thobani visited Western's campus Wednesday and Thursday to discuss her beliefs and the experience of voicing her dissenting opinion towards the Bush administration and the American media. She focused on the effect Sept. 11 has had on the women, civil rights and anti-racism movements. She spoke at Fairhaven College and to classes on campus. She said she spoke out against the war on terrorism and the Canadian media labeled her as anti-American. "Sept. 11 provided a moment, a real moment, to question the role of the United States in the world," Thobani said. "The attack on me was to stop that moment and stop that kind of discussion," she said. Thobani said the United States must realize it can not be the only world"i3u^ftrpower and expect to get resources from anywhere without having to use violence. These two things go together and can not be separated, she said. Thobani received death threats, hate mail and harassing phone calls because of her speech at the women's conference. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said her speech was a hate crime. "She is a really brave soul," said Cynthia Moulds, Interim Director of womens studies.
