CANCELLED! Research seminar: Islamic Educational Activities in Europe: Engagement, Re-articulation, and Self-Formation

The seminar focuses on Maria and Maximilian’s research and raises themes of religious engagement, self-making processes, and the role and nature of education in religious contexts and elsewhere. Maria’s and Maximilian’s work also concerns themes of ethnographic practice in transnational spaces and in the shadow of the pandemic. 

In Engaged Subjects: Danish Muslim Women’s Islamic Educational Activities (2022), Maria focuses on Muslim women’s religious roles, everyday practices, and processes of learning Islam in Denmark. She is inspired by a Deleuzian framework in analyzing the engagements and entanglements of a pious everyday life. In German Muslims on the International Theology Programme in Turkey: Temporalities, Spatialities, and Contingency (2022), Maximilian analyses German Muslim’s motivation and experience of studying theology and how their studies shaped their sense of self. Their research was part of a larger project Rearticulating Islam: A New Generation of Muslim Religious Leaders financed by THE VELUX FOUNDATIONS.
