Paths Made by Walking
What can women's scholastic pursuits tell us about what building
an Islamic state looks like for women who are loyal to its project?
And what can an ethnographic study of women who are using Islamic
education to transform their conditions in Iran teach us about our
own humanity?
Paths Made by Walking provides insight into these
questions by examining how Iranian women have participated in
Islamic education since the 1979 revolution. This groundbreaking
ethnography on Iranian howzevi (seminarian) women reveals how
ideologies of womanhood, institutions, and Islamic practices have
played a pivotal role in religiously conservative women's mobility
in the Middle East. Applying over a year of ethnographic fieldwork,
Amina Tawasil analyzes how the Islamic education of seminarian
women has propelled some of them into powerful positions in Iran,
from close ties with the state's supreme leader and chief justice
to membership in the Basij (voluntary military organization). At
the same time, these women often choose to remain \"hidden\" or to
otherwise follow practices that seem inscrutable or illogical from
a framework of politicized resistance. By centering the howzevi
women's senses of self and revealing their complex interpretations
of their beliefs, Tawasil offers a fresh perspective on forms of
feminine identity that do not always mirror supposedly universal
desires for recognition, autonomy, leadership, or authority.
Taking readers into the classrooms, living rooms, and compounds
where howzevi women participate in intellectual discourse,
Paths Made by Walking invites readers to reconsider their
conceptualizations of the women who support the Islamic Republic of
Iran.

Islamic schooling in the West : pathways to renewal
This book presents the views of leading scholars, academics, and educators on the renewal of Islamic schools in the Western context. The book argues that as Islamic schools in Western contexts have negotiated the establishment phase they must next embrace a period of renewal. Renewal relates to a purposeful synthesis of the tradition with contemporary educational practice and greater emphasis on empirical research substantiating best practices in Islamic schools. This renewal must reflect teaching and learning practices consistent with an Islamic worldview and pedagogy. It should also inform, among other aspects, classroom management models, and relevant and contextual Islamic and Arabic studies. This book acquaints the reader with contemporary challenges and opportunities in Islamic schools in the Western context with a focus on Australia.

Faithful Education
In the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2011, discussions on ties between Islamic religious education institutions, namely madrassahs, and transnational terrorist groups have featured prominently in the Western media. In the frenzied coverage of events, however, vital questions have been overlooked: What do we know about the madrassahs? Should Western policymakers be alarmed by the recent increase in the number of these institutions in Muslim countries? Is there any connection between them and the \"global jihad\"?Ali Riaz responds to these questions through an in-depth examination of the madraassahs in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India. InFaithful Education, he examines these institutions and their roles in relation to current international politics.
