Teaching to say ‘no’: Pedagogies of refusal in the social sciences classroom (and beyond)
Although not new, debates about researchers’ refusal to engage in (potentially) unethical and harmful research have recently gained traction in the social sciences, stressing the need for researchers to ‘learn to say no.’ Decolonial and indigenous scholars working in contexts of settler colonialism have extended these debates to the practice of teaching in higher education. In this ‘points of departure’ article, we build on these debates and prac…
A decolonial turn in religions and development studies? Academic engagement with decolonisation, development, and faith
Challenging Dominant Approaches, Centering Marginalized Perspectives: New Writings on Gender, War, and Revolution in the Middle East
Debates on gender, war, and revolution in the Middle East are not new. The question of gender in the region has moved the imaginaries of academics, administrators, policymakers, journalists and activists throughout the decades, if not centuries. There is a similarly vast amount of literature on war and revolution in a region that has often been seen, and continues to be seen, through a lens shaped by a disproportional focus on conflict and violen…
Conflict, vulnerabilities, silences: LGBT-critical Muslims and Western development organisations in Europe and the Middle East
While the general topic of gender and faith has received significant attention in development studies, the nexus of LGBT inclusion, faith, and development remains under-researched. Existing publications generally focus on the negative impact of religion on LGBT communities, question binaries between LGBT and faith actors, or mention how faith-based initiatives support LGBT communities. There is little literature on the negative impact of LGBT inc…
Responding domestically: British Islamic faith‐based organisations' crisis response in the UK during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
Contributing to debates about faith‐based humanitarian action and development as well as domestic programming, this article examines the domestic COVID‐19 (coronavirus disease 2019) responses of two British Islamic faith‐based organisations (FBOs). It discusses how Islamic Relief UK and the Ramadan Tent Project responded to the unprecedented crisis caused by the pandemic by adapting their United Kingdom‐based programming. The article is based on …
Muslim pracademics as double brokers: A Faith-Sensitive, Intersectional Framework for Understanding Pracademics' Experiences and Positionalities
The term pracademic, which describes individuals with dual identities as both academics and practitioners, is becoming increasingly common in global development circles. However, much of the academic literature on pracademics focuses on experiences of a relatively privileged elite of pracademics who are white, from the Global North, and working with secular organisations. Using collaborative autoethnography and mutual reflection, this study explo…
We Must be Focused and We Must Organise: Gender, Conflict and Human Rights Activism in Balochistan
Although often overlooked and underestimated in official accounts, female activists play an important role in human rights and liberation movements worldwide. While women’s roles and experiences in the struggle for rights and liberation worldwide have been discussed in numerous publications, there is a lack of academic literature on the roles of women in the Baloch movement in Pakistan. Using a collaborative autoethnographic, dialogic approach, t…
All were gaining knowledge from each other: Decolonial Participatory Research Capacity-Sharing for and by Non-Academics
This article contributes to the emerging literature on decolonial research capacity-sharing (the process of strengthening individual/organisational capacity to shape research agendas, assess, design, produce, disseminate, and apply evidence). It provides a discussion of a participatory research capacity-sharing initiative led by Joint Learning Initiative on Faith and Local Communities (JLI), which was aimed at practitioners, activists, and resear…
Religious positionalities and political science research in 'the field' and beyond: Insights from Vietnam, Lebanon and the UK
This article contributes to the growing literature on researcher reflexivity by broaching the often-ignored issue of religious positionalities within political science, as well as speaking to the methodological implications of researching religion more broadly. We present and compare two autoethnographic case studies of research on politico-religious conflict in Vietnam and Lebanon, exploring how a researcher's religiosity presents unique fieldwo…
Learning to say 'no: Privilege, Entitlement and Refusal in Peace, (Post)conflict and Security Research
In this forum, we focus on the possibility and necessity for active refusal in research, and the complexities of refusal. We offer four different perspectives, based on our shared concerns and understanding of the harms caused by some field research, and driven by our engagement with and membership in some of the communities experiencing this harmful fieldwork in peace, (post)conflict and security settings.Drawing on feminist, queer, indigenous, …
Women and the Lebanese Civil War: Female Fighters in Lebanese and Palestinian Militias

It outlines the motivation for establishing the new periodical along three central themes: the move towards sustainable development as dominant development paradigm; the reinvigoration of the post-development debate; and the emerging academic, policy and practice field of religion and development. The discussio…

On taking your child to the field
You are going to take your child with you? On your field trip to Lebanon? You are brave!This was a typical reaction that I got when I told friends I was planning to take my then 7-year-old daughter
