SUMMARY:BRITISH MUSLIMS AND COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:British Muslims and Covid-19: Impacts\, Experiences and Responses\n  \nSymposium Overview\n  \nResearch on Covid-19 highlighted its disproportionate impact on Black and Asian Minority Ethnic groups (BAME) communities (Public Health England\, 2020). However\, these studies only offer a limited understanding of the particularity of experiences within the umbrella category BAME. For instance\, there is only limited discussion around faith in relation to Covid-19\, its impacts and the socio-economic fall-outs of lockdown. This MBRN symposium redressed this gap by taking an intersectional perspective in mapping and analysing the impact of Covid-19 on British Muslim communities. By bringing together practitioners and academics\, we examined how diverse British Muslim communities have experienced the pandemic\, how their lives have been impacted during and after lockdown and how they responded. \nBy focusing on the experiences of British Muslims\, this online symposium enabled us to examine the interplay of ethnicity\, religion and deprivation\, in negotiating the particular challenges of living through Covid-19. We explored the diversity of ways in which British Muslims have experienced and responded to Covid-19\, and seek to understand its ongoing impacts. We suggested answers for the question\, “How are diverse British Muslims living through\, and responding to the challenges of\, Covid-19?”. \nThe symposium included presentations from academics and practitioners from a range of epistemological positions and disciplinary standpoints to explore dimensions of Muslim identity / lived experiences in relation to the pandemic\, lockdown and subsequent socio-economic implications of Covid-19 in Britain.

SUMMARY:British Muslim Charitable Organisations: A Best Practice Forum
DESCRIPTION: In partnership with the Muslim Charities Forum and the Humanitarian Academy for Development\n  \nThis event is for scholars and practitioners working in\, working with or researching Muslim charities that are based in the United Kingdom but conduct charitable activities throughout the world. British Muslim INGOs have been in operation in the UK since the early eighties. Since then\, the sector has grown and now includes over a hundred charities which have a total spend of just under half a billion pounds annually. \nThese charities have been at the forefront of providing aid in times of crisis and in supporting long term economic development in some of the poorest parts of the world. At this conference\, scholars and practitioners from across this sector will showcase their work from the field and discuss and debate the challenges the sector faces\, whether to do with fundraising\, policy contexts or working internationally. Papers will either focus on a specific aspect of British Muslim charity that presenters wish to highlight as best practice or seek to open debates about working in any aspect of development work. The conference organisers intend to collect all or part of the proceedings of the conference to be published in book form. \nThe call for papers for this event has now closed\, but all are welcome to register to attend. \nThe Muslims in Britain Research Network is a network of academics\, researchers and practitioners that specialises in studying and supporting the development of the British Muslim community. The Muslim Charities Forum has been studying the sector for the past year and will be launching its research into the charity sector at this event. The Humanitarian Academy for Development is a center of excellence serving the leadership\, research and talent development needs of the humanitarian sector.

SUMMARY:Populist Politics and the Minority Voice: British Muslims\, Extremisms and Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Department of Theology and Religious Studies\, King’s College London (KCL)\, University of London:\n  \nEvent Description\nA one-day Muslims in Britain Research Network (MBRN) conference organised in partnership with the Department of Theology and Religious Studies\, King’s College London (KCL)\, University of London \n19 April 2018 \nThemes include:\n\nMuslim activism and populist politics;\nNew media\, populism and the representation of Muslims and other minorities;\nRecognising\, opposing and offering alternatives to anti-Semitism\, Islamophobia and other extremisms;\nBritish Muslims and national identity after Brexit;\nChallenges to\, and for\, principles of tolerance\, free speech and accommodation.\n\nPlenary speakers\nNarzanin Massoumi\, University of Exeter & editor\, What is Islamophobia?\nAaron Winter\, University of East London\nDavid Feldman\, Director\, Pears Institute for the Study of Anti-Semitism\nShenaz Bunglawala\, Aziz Foundation\nRokhsana Fiaz OBE\, Newham councillor and mayoral candidate\nKeith Kahn-Harris\, Leo Baeck College and Birkbeck\, University of London\nRuth Sheldon\, Birkbeck\, University of London \nAdditional speakers\nReza Gholami\, University of Birmingham\nKhadijah Elshayyal\, University of Edinburgh\nMirjam Aeschbach\, University of Zurich\nShanon Shah\, Critical Muslim\nAjmal Hussain\, University of Manchester\nLaura Jones\, Cardiff University\nWaqas Tufail\, Leeds Beckett University\nGillian Kennedy\, King’s College London\nKristin Henrard\, ESL\, Rotterdam\nAyesha Chowdhury\, Leeds Becket University\nLaurens de Rooij\, University of Cape Town \nConference outline\nAcross Europe and North America\, populist parties and leaders have surged in recent years\, with figures such as Donald Trump and Andrej Babiš and parties such as UKIP and Alternative für Deutschland making significant electoral gains. Although different in important respects\, these movements share certain themes\, such as emphasis on national self-interest and hostility toward international co-operation\, liberal political norms and established news media. In almost all cases this desire to reassert national identity has also involved renewed hostility toward ethnic and religious minorities – especially Jewish and Muslim minorities – as well as toward any frameworks of liberal accommodation that have allowed minorities to participate in public life on an equal footing. In the UK\, this was evident in the referendum on European Union membership in 2016\, which not only destabilised previously taken-for-granted political and legal frameworks but also contributed to a sustained rise in hate crime\, anti-immigration rhetoric and Islamophobia. \nThis one-day conference on ‘Populist politics and the minority voice’ will discuss the effects of these changes on British Muslims\, and how the concerns of British Muslims relate to those of other minority groups as well as wider debates about the future of liberal states\, free speech and ‘fake news. Since at least the 1970s\, British Muslims – as a group and alongside other minorities – have been involved in a struggle for rights\, for media and political representation and for recognition. What might these struggles look like in the future? What is the future of British Muslim identity\, post-Brexit? How might rights and legal accommodations be affected by withdrawal from the EU? How do concerns about rising Islamophobia intersect with concerns about resurgent anti-Semitism and far-right and populist movements? How should debates about Muslims and the media proceed in an era of ‘fake news’? How can standards of debate about minorities be preserved and what can higher education and Muslim institutions contribute? \nConference programme\n09.30-10.15 – Registration and Networking \n10.15-10.30 – Welcome\, Alison Scott-Baumann (MBRN) and Daniel Nilsson DeHanas (King’s College London) \n10.30-12.00 – Opening Plenary\, ‘Recognising\, Opposing and Offering Alternatives to Anti-Semitism\, Islamophobia and Other Extremisms’ \n\nNarzanin Massoumi\, University of Exeter\nAaron Winter\, University of East London\nDavid Feldman\, Pears Institute for the study of Antisemitism\, Birkbeck\, University of London\nRuth Sheldon\, Birkbeck\, University of London\n\n12.00-13.00 – Lunch \n13.00-14.30 – Parallel Session 1A\, ‘Transnational Law and Activism’ \n\nGillian Kennedy\, King’s College London\, ‘Between a rock and a hard place’: British Egyptian Muslims and new explanations for Transnational Diaspora Mobilization since the 2011 Egyptian Uprising’\nAyesha Chowdhury and Razaq Raj\, Leeds Beckett University\, ‘21st Century Conflict: Incitement of Religious Discrimination\, Freedom of Speech and Defamation of Religion’\nKristin Henrard\, Erasmus School of Law\, and Peter Vermeersch\, University of Leuven (KU Leuven)\, ‘Nationalism with a ‘human’ face?

SUMMARY:Islam and Peaceful Relations
DESCRIPTION:MBRN conference with the Centre for Trust\, Peace\, and Social Relations\, University of Coventry\n  \nIslam has been an important force for peace in the world historically and now. Peace is integral to Islamic theology and Muslim ethos\, either as part of the individual’s personal experience or the wider context of maintaining peaceful relations in society. Yet terrorism undermines this discourse around peace and Islam. Recent attacks in France\, Lebanon and Bangladesh have once again put Islam at the fore of debates around religiously-motivated conflict. Terrorists constitute a very small proportion of the global Muslim population and their ideology at best represents only a fringe\, yet the narratives they propound have a dominating influence in shaping how Islam and Muslims are perceived. This has resulted in an increased focus on radicalisation and preventing violent extremism in policy\, media discourse and some academic research around Islam and Muslims in Britain and beyond\, subverting most other narratives of Islam and Muslims. \nThis conference will ‘radically’ depart from this trend. Instead it will focus its discussion about Islam on dialogue\, peace and peaceful relations. In doing so it will uncover Islamic theological traditions around peacebuilding\, historical precedents of peaceful existence with Muslims and contemporary lived experiences of intra-faith and inter-cultural dialogue\, improved societal understanding of difference and peaceful relations. The conference will move the debate beyond simplistic ‘good and bad’\, ‘us and them’ binaries to more complex discussions that consider the impact of diverse social factors including\, gender\, class\, economy and geography. \nThe Faith and Peaceful Relations Research Group at CTPSR explores the role religion can play in achieving more peaceful and just societies. Faith can be a driver of peace\, reconciliation and social justice\, yet it can also be a source of violence\, exclusion and misunderstanding. This conference will build on our research expertise and will explore the positive difference faith and belief\, in this case Islam\, can make in today’s world and how conflicts relating to Islam can be overcome. \nProposals for papers\, panel discussions\, workshops and poster presentations that focus on one\, or more\, of the above themes are invited from scholars\, community activists and policy makers. For the purposes of the conference\, we do not define the term ‘Islam and Peaceful Relations’\, but rather envisage that contributions will broaden our understanding of what this can mean in contemporary plural society. \nThe conference will explore themes including: \n–          Theological and sociological constructs and definitions of Islam and peace \n–          Contemporary debates\, including the role of the digital world \n–          Interfaith and Inter-cultural dialogue \n–          Intra-faith dialogue across diverse Muslim denominations and traditions \n–          Local ramifications of international events and initiatives \n–          Develop a narrative of Islam and peace \nAbstracts & Proposals: \nTo submit a proposal: \n–          Please submit a title and abstract of no more than 300 words\, indicating whether it is a paper / panel / workshop / poster presentation. \n–          Please include names and short biographies (150 words maximum) of the presenter/s\, institutional affiliation/s (if relevant)\, and contact details. \n–          Proposals should be sent to the conference administrator Charlotte Martin via email \n–          Deadline: 5pm on Monday 15th February 2016. \n–          Successful participants will be notified by 29th February 2016. \n

SUMMARY:Poverty and British Muslims: Identifying Problems and Proposing Solutions
DESCRIPTION:MBRN event with the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies\n  \nIntroduction\n  \nThe Muslims in Britain Research Network\, together with the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies\, held a joint event in Oxford on Wednesday 16th\, September. The thematic focus of the day was ‘Poverty and British Muslims’\, and featured a keynote presentation by Professor Anthony Heath\, academic responses\, and a practitioner panel. The event also included the MBRN AGM\, a networking session\, and a tour of the OCIS new building. The MBRN Committee were delighted with the event\, which had 60 attendees\, and very grateful to OCIS and in particular\, Dr Asma Mustafa\, for hosting. \nPost-Event Resources \nA blogpost about Professor Heath’s presentation at the MBRN/OCIS Poverty & British Muslims conference in Oxford can be accessed here (website of the Centre for Social Investigation\, Nuffield College\, University of Oxford). \nAn excerpt: \nWe came up with three theories. The first is transitory factors\, which is to say that Muslim groups are more recent arrivals to the UK and as such may have lower levels of education (or foreign qualifications that aren’t recognised)\, and are less likely to be proficient in English – these factors directly influence labour market outcomes. A second explanation might be intrinsic factors to the religion\, for example\, particular family values may mean lower rates of women going to work and larger family sizes. The third explanatory theory is prejudice and discrimination. \nA more in-depth article about Professor Heath’s research\, co-authored by Prof Li (University of Manchester)\, can be found here (‘Review of the relationship between religion and poverty – an analysis for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’). \nProfessor Heath’s slides for his MBRN/OCIS presentation are available here.

SUMMARY:MBRN conference INSIDE OUT: Reflexivity and Methodology in Research with British Muslims
DESCRIPTION:MBRN conference with Cardiff University Islam-UK Centre\, ‘INSIDE OUT: Reflexivity and Methodology in Research with British Muslims’\n  \nThe latest MBRN event took place on 10th September 2014 at Cardiff University. It combined a conference exploring the themes of methodology and reflexivity\, a roundtable research update and networking lunch\, and keynote speech from Professor Ron Geaves\, former Chair of MBRN. Many thanks go to Abdul-Azim Ahmed and Riyaz Timol of the Islam-UK Centre at Cardiff University\, who organised the day. \nThe conference element comprised three panels over the course of the day: “Reflexivity in the Field”\, “Belonging\, Believing\, Boundaries” and “Methodological Innovation and Reflexivity”. During the twelve presentations and subsequent panel Q&A\, the audience was able to hear about a broad range of issues\, problems\, strategies and proposals relating to empirical research with British Muslims. Professor Sophie Gilliat-Ray\, Chair of MBRN\, praised the quality and sophistication of the accounts\, and also noted how far the themes of debate within this discipline have developed since the early days of MBRN’s inception. \nThe standard MBRN research update took place during lunchtime\, when the 40 audience members shared their research themes\, progress and future plans to the rest of the group\, before breaking for the networking lunch.
