An investigation into the Experiences of international Muslim students in an Irish university
(2017)
Gamze Üstündağ, Buse
Abstract:
Ireland has transformed from being a country of emigration to a country of immigration within the past two decades. The transformation is evident in Irish higher education which currently recruits over one hundred thousand international students from across the globe. Although Muslim immigration into Ireland began with international students who came to study in Royal College of Surgeons Ireland in 1950s, research on Muslim students, particularly international, in Irish higher education has largely been neglected to date. Consequently, this project explores the experiences of international Muslim students (IMS) in an Irish university, asks whether a religious identity is a pertinent factor in intercultural contact, and investigates internationalisation of higher education in Ireland from the perspective of IMS. The study used a constructive grounded theory approach within an interpretative framework. 23 semi-structured, qualitative interviews were conducted with IMS from undergradu...

Berti Qur’anic Amulets

Berti Qur’anic Amulets
(1987)
El-Tom, Abdullahi
Abstract:
The Berti live in the Province of North Darfur in the Sudan. They are sedentary people whose main livelihood is based on rain cultivation and animal husbandry (for more details on the Berti see Holy 1974). For several centuries the Berti have spoken their own dialect of the Arabic language. They are Muslim, following the Maliki school of Islamic Law. Among the Berti, Islam is disseminated and taught by their religious men, locally referred to fugara, a term translated as jurisconsults, clergymen, Sufi mendicants or religious officiants (see Trimingham 1949:140, 1968:61 and 130; Yusuf 1976:116; among others). As professionals, Berti religious men render a variety of services to their clients. They teach the Qur’an, preside over rituals, and treat the sick. In this article I shall restrict myself to the provision of ‘amulets’ which are believed to help their owners to achieve certain objectives.

Living in a Dissonant World: Toward an Agonistic Cosmopolitics for Education

Living in a Dissonant World: Toward an Agonistic Cosmopolitics for Education
(2010)
Todd, Sharon
Abstract:
As a flashpoint for specific instances of conflict, Muslim sartorial practices have at times been seen as being antagonistic to ‘‘western’’ ideas of gender equality, secularity, and communicative practices. In light of this, I seek to highlight the ways in which such moments of antagonism actually might be understood on ‘‘cosmopolitical’’ terms, that is, through a framework informed by a critical and political approach to cosmopolitanism itself. Thus, through an ‘‘agonistic cosmopolitics’’ I here argue for a more robust political understanding of what a cosmopolitan orientation to cultural difference can offer education. The paper moves from a focus on harmony to agonism and from cosmopolitanism to the cosmopolitical, and within each I discuss the questions of democracy and universality, respectively. Drawing on, the work of Chantal Mouffe, Judith Butler and Bonnie Honig, I discuss the basis upon which our agonistic interactions can inform education in promoting better ways of livin...
