Call for Papers
Multiculturalism in a Globalised Society:
European Muslims, Identity and Citizenship
Date: 24th February 2011
Venue: Park Campus, University of Northampton,
Northampton NN2 7AL, UK
This conference gathers academics, journalists, researchers, policy
makers, youth workers, civil society organisations and other members of
the public to discuss issues around Muslims in Europe, identity,
citizenship and belonging. It aims to address issues relating to Muslims’
engagement or disengagement with the mainstream European society; what
challenges are there for their positive participation in the success of
the multiculturalism model. It will also aim to map out Muslims’ use of
the media and the extent to which that helps define who they are.
Conference themes:
This conference will cover (but not necessarily limited to) the following
areas of enquiry:
- European or Muslim: What do Muslims in Europe believe to be
their identity?
- Multiculturalism and Integration: What does this actually mean?
- Active citizenship: What does this mean in Islamic terms?
- The relationship between British Muslims and the global Muslim
community – the Ummah.
- The rise of political Islam – Islamism
- Post 9/11 Radicalisation and terrorism
- New media and youth/women empowerment.
- Youth subcultures and new media, what is going on?
- What functions are the internet and satellite TV playing in
engaging/disengaging Muslim communities?

submitted by the 15th October 2010. Papers should reflect one or more of
