(NAME-MCE) CFP: Muslim Voices in School

[Ozlem Sensoy]

Dear colleagues,
 
Please see that attached CFP for an edited volume called: Muslim Voices in
School: Narratives of Identity and Pluralism.

The timeline has been extended, we welcome EOI¹s through August 1st.

With regards,
~ Ozlem


>From the CFP (attached):

This is a book about resistance and voice. With this publication, we seek to
advocate the use of ³counter-story² narratives utilized to empower and
repair group and individual identities that have been crafted, and
paradoxically damaged, by Western dominant culture. We believe that our work
as academics and educators includes responding to such dominant group
characterizations of Muslim people, by revealing our individual stories, and
our shared narratives, and allowing the reader an opportunity to hear Muslim
voices that are so often muted.
 
Envisioned is a series of short chapters focusing on school related
narratives that illustrate the depth of cultural plurality among those who
are acculturated Muslims within schools and education in the West. The idea
would be a ³handbook² that could be used to educate the reader about the
plurality of Muslim student lives and experiences in the West, and to foster
dialogue in classrooms and in the field of education and social sciences
about anti-racist and critical pluralistic pedagogies, and the utility of
personal narratives as a site of evidence, empowerment, and emancipation.

We hope to remain open to the ideas our invited authors might have. But in
the interest of clarity, we have conceptualized the following thematic
clusters for authorship:

PART 1 ­ TEACHING, CLASSROOMS, AND THE SCHOOL EXPERIENCE

PART 2 ­ CURRICULAR CONVERSATIONS: REPRESENTATIONS IN THE FORMAL, INFORMAL,
AND SOCIETAL CURRICULA

PART 3 ­ BEING MUSLIM AND... : THE INTERSECTIONS OF MUSLIM IDENTITY AND
OTHER SOCIAL IDENTITIES

Our timeline is as follows:
