Religious toleration, peace and the docutube method: Integrating filmmaking in religious and moral education
This article explores an example of how filmmaking can be used as a pedagogic tool in religious and moral education. Considering changing ways in which young people use digital technology to learn and communicate, this article introduces and critically evaluates a pedagogic method and resources developed as part of the RETOPEA (‘Religious Toleration and Peace’) project. This aims to support young people’s active learning about religious diversity…
Creative Shared Religious Education with Film-Making and History
This paper discusses the development of an innovative methodology for engaging young people with issues of religious diversity and toleration, through combining engagement with historical and contemporary sources with the production of short documentary films reflecting on their own experience. We report on pilot workshops held in contrasting locations-London, Belfast, Skopje (North Macedonia), Durrës (Albania), and Amman (Jordan). In some of the…
Discourses of Extremism and British Values: The Politics of the Trojan Horse
This article critically investigates the production of party-political discourses of “extremism” and “British values” in response to the so-called “Trojan Horse affair.” This “affair,” which first hit UK media headlines in 2014, relates to allegations of an organised Islamic plot aiming to infiltrate schools in Birmingham to radicalise schoolchildren. Though these allegations remain unproven, they have been used to justify changes in educational …
More Than Just a Piece of Cloth: The German “Headscarf ” Debate
This article highlights the blurred and often confused nature of the distinction between religious, cultural and political issues, within debates around the legal regulation of Muslim women’s dress codes. It focuses on party-political debates in Germany about female Muslim state school teachers’ right to wear, or duty to remove, a hijab, and highlights implicit assumptions about the role of religion in German culture, politics, legislation, educa…
Regina Jonas: Forgetting and Remembering the First Female Rabbi
Regina Jonas (1902–44), who was ordained in Germany in 1935, is now widely recognised as the world's first female rabbi. However, for almost 50 years after her death at Auschwitz in 1944, she was given very little, if any, public recognition. Based on archival research, interviews and critical engagement with secondary literature, this paper investigates a range of explanations why Jonas was nearly lost to historiography. It also considers the ci…

National identity and the politics of the ‘headscarf debate’ in Germany
The German ‘headscarf debate’ was sparked off by a dispute concerning a teacher who refused to remove her hijab at work. ‘Case Ludin’ brought the issue to national attention and eventually led to new legislation in half of Germany's 16 federated states. This article focuses on a critical analysis of a party-political debate around Case Ludin in the Baden-Württemberg parliament in 1998. The analysis shows that whilst party-politicians claimed to b…
