A presentation from the Cambridge Philosophy of Education Seminars (recorded 26 January, 2021)
The young and rapidly-growing Muslim demography of the UK has established over 150 full-time educational institutions in which the engagement of Muslim theology and ethics with ‘British values’ is variously performed. In this talk we consider the theories of some contemporary Muslim educationalists as they grapple with the paradoxes of maintaining a faithful Muslim episteme in the secularising regulatory and philosophical environment of modern Britain.
Dr Tim Winter (Sheikh Abdul-Hakim Murad) is University Lecturer in Islamic Studies at the University of Cambridge, and is dean of the Cambridge Muslim College, which trains imams for British mosques. His research has been published in a variety of collections and journals. His most recent book, writing as Abdal Hakim Murad, is Travelling Home: essays on Islam in Europe (2020).
