Agents of God: Boundaries and Authority in Muslim and Christian Schools, by JEFFREY Guhin
This is a fascinating book, replete with rich ethnographic data from Guhin’s time during 2011 and 2012 in four schools in the USA (two Christian, two Muslim). He made friends with many children and their teachers, audiotaped interviews, and also spent many hours in classes and observing other activities. Guhin uses this experience and those who work in the Weberian tradition (e.g., Meyer and Jepperson 2000) to consider the inherited charisma of i…
Creating Interstitial Spaces: Muslim Network Organizations in the United Kingdom
This contribution describes the origin and activities of three organizations in the United Kingdom: the British Association for Islamic Studies (BRAIS), the Muslims in Britain Research Network (MBRN) and Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND), discussing them against the backdrop of a dominant government-led securitization agenda. Having each held leading positions in one of these initiatives, the authors analyze the attempts of these organizat…
Towards Contextualized Islamic Leadership: Paraguiding and the Universities and Muslim Seminaries Project (Umsep)
The Universities and Muslim Seminaries Project (UMSEP) addresses three key issues in the narrative of Muslim communal identity and religious leadership in Britain today: firstly, the need for the accreditation of Darul Ulooms (Muslim seminaries) and external validation of their programmes; secondly, understanding the career trajectories of Darul Uloom graduates, and exploring good practice; thirdly, understanding emerging leadership models in the…
Fighting for "Justice", Engaging the Other: Shi'a Muslim Activism on the British University Campus
While Shi'a Muslims remain in the minority in Europe, including within universities, the past decade has witnessed the growing profile of Shi'ism on university campuses, especially in Britain. In particular, there has been an emphasis on campaigns that prioritise notions of justice, equality, and human rights. Drawing on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork conducted amongst Twelver Shi'a students in Britain between 2013-2018, this paper examine…
Dual Use Research of Concern’ and ‘Select Agents’
Creating a suspect community is a time-consuming task and requires persistence. Once achieved, it is difficult to undo. In security terms, inspiring fear of dual use is one of many successful methods used to create suspicion. The concept of dual use research of concern ( DURC ) is the idea that scientific knowledge can be created by the worthy, stolen by the malevolent and used to make war on the innocent. On campus, ideas about Islam are current…
Text as action, action as text? Ricoeur, λoƔoσ and the affirmative search for meaning in the ‘universe of discourse
Ricoeur placed a great deal of importance upon text and the interpretation of text. Bell accepts this by virtue of his extended analysis of the story of Babel, and I hope to offer ways of extending and developing Bell’s arguments to incorporate the ethical demands that Ricoeur placed upon text, upon our interpretation of text and upon action as a form of readable text. This will not include a commentary on discourse analysis, which I am not quali…
Being a Stranger by Paul Ricoeur
We distinguish between citizens of a state and strangers in a categorical way that seems clear and has the force of law behind it. In fact nationality is a highly contested phenomenon and one that is desired by many who are considered to be aliens or strangers. They range from guest-workers, to immigrants, to asylum seekers and they are often viewed with deep suspicion, even fear. The Kantian injunction to be hospitable to others is not being hee…
Ricoeur's Translation Model as a Mutual Labour of Understanding
Ricoeur has written about translation as an ethical paradigm. Translation from one language to another, and within one's own language, provides both a metaphor and a real mechanism for explaining oneself to the other. Attempting and failing to achieve symmetry between two languages is a manifestation of the asymmetry inherent in human relationships. If actively pursued, translation can show us how to forgive other people for being different from …

Women and citizenship in global teacher education: The Global-ITE project
The Global-ITE (Initial Teacher Education) scheme is a three-year education project. It aims to enable trainee teachers in three teacher-education institutes in India, Kenya, and England to link local and global social issues to each other, and relate them to the school curriculum; and to promote a global perspective on citizenship education. Integral to our vision of global citizenship is gender equality, together with a respect for diversity. T…
Reconstructive Hermeneutical Philosophy: Return Ticket to the Human Condition
Making meaning out of life requires effort, sustained thought and action. It can be difficult to reassert our responsibility for solving real life problems from within social science research or current trends, such as extremely deconstructivist text, and postmodernism in its cheerfully nihilistic guise. Hermeneutical philosophy, of the Ricoeurian reconstructive mode, rehabilitates text as a powerful device for influencing others and offers us co…
Teacher Education for Muslim Women: Intercultural Relationships, Method and Philosophy
In order to manage our daily lives, we make many decisions based on empirical evidence derived from instrumental action. At the other extreme, we are often attracted by a so-called postmodern solution that invites us to make arbitrary choices. In the education system, the pressing dilemma should not be a choice between standards of competence or unthinking relativism, but how to take action towards intercultural tolerance. Establishing a small te…
