Appel à communication : Panel “Forming the Modern Muslim – Islam, Education and the Individual in the Muslim World”, World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies (WOCMES), Ankara (Turquie), 18-22/08/2014 — LIMITE : 20/01/2014

This panel calls for contributions about the making of contemporary Islamic education by political elites and state-employed intellectuals, Islamic revival and education movements like the Muslim Brotherhood, or independent Islamic preachers and educators. How does educational thought and practice reflect the wider context of ideas about national citizenship, economic agency, and the modern individual? Which are the various sources of tradition and modernity that go into the often complex and contradictory process of formulating specifically Islamic models of education?

Please send a 250-word abstract (English and French welcome) following the guidelines of WOCMES 2014 to Sebastian Elsässer elsaesser@islam.uni-kiel.de.
Deadline: 20 January 2014.
