Islam on Campus: Contested Identities and the Cultures of Higher Education in Britain

The book "Islam on Campus" is a groundbreaking exploration of how Islam is represented, perceived, and lived within higher education in Britain.

Through an in-depth analysis of the largest data set yet collected in the UK, this book uncovers the ways in which ideas about Islam and Muslim identities are produced, experienced, and contested on university campuses.

By examining the political discourses that marginalize and ignore religion, particularly Islam, this book demonstrates the urgent need to release Islam from its othered and feared status.

The author argues that when universities embrace this change, they can help students of all affiliations and of none become citizens of the campus and the world.

This thought-provoking and culturally nuanced treatment of universities as sites of knowledge production and contexts for the negotiation of perspectives on culture and religion is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of religion and identity on UK campuses today.
