Survey Research

  • Survey Research

July 27, 2024

Participate in an exciting survey conducted by Mirela Cufurovic from the Centre for Islamic Studies and Civilisation at Charles Sturt University as part of her Doctoral research project.
 
Criteria:
Muslim
18+
Born in Australia OR arrived to Australia before the age of 5.
 
What is the purpose of this study?

The aim of the research is to trace to what extent emotional attachment contributes to identity and cultural integration. That is, how it feels to be an Australian Muslim.  The findings from the research will help show how integration might be influenced by emotional investment and whether minority groups develop a unique identity when compared to the wider Australian community. By exploring how emotion may contribute to the identity and cultural integration of Australian Muslims, the research invites the Australian Muslim community to ask themselves ‘how do I feel as an Australian?’

AAIMS New President and Vice-President

  • AAIMS New President and Vice-President

May 17, 2024

Dear members,
 
This is to inform you of a change to the AAIMS executive members positions today.
 
Dr Jan Ali, who was formerly Vice-President of AAIMS, will fill the role of President left vacant by Associate Professor Zuleyha Keskin, who stood down from the role. Zuleyha moves to the Vice-President role.
 
We thank Zuleyha for her dedicated leadership as President over the past few years. She organised national conferences, workshops, and webinars that provided a platform for collaboration of academics in the field of Islam and Muslim studies and opportunities for development of students and early career researchers. We are fortunate to receive ongoing support from her in the role of Vice-President.
 
We welcome Jan to his new role and look forward to his guidance and direction in ensuring that AAIMS continues to provide  benefits for its members and the academic community.
 
All the best,

Congratulations to Dr. Sara Cheikh Husain on her paper at the Conference “Embracing Diversity: Tackling Islamophobia in 2024” on 8-9 March 2024, Baku, Azerbaijan.

We celebrate your achievement!

Dr. Sara commented that:

“I feel extremely privileged and guilty at the same time for being able to take a break from my 24/7 advocacy for Gaza to participate in the Conference “Embracing Diversity: Tackling Islamophobia in 2024” co-organized by the Baku International Multiculturalism Center, the Center of Analysis of International Relations (AIR Center) and G20 Interfaith Dialogue Forum and Baku Initiative Group, held at Fairmont Baku on 8-9 March 2024, Baku, Azerbaijan.

I was invited to spend a fully funded trip to Baku to attend the conference and present my paper: “France and Australia: comparative Analysis of Islamophobia” as part of the plenary/breakout session: “Anti Muslim policies in France: Normalising Islamophobia”.

More than 130 international guests, including scientists from 32 countries, experts of international organizations, religious figures and representatives of non-governmental organizations, attended and/or participated in the conference.

The conferences included the address by H.E. Mr. Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mr. Yousef M. Al-Dobeay, Assistant Secretary-General of Political Affairs of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and Prof. Cole Durham, President of the G20 Interfaith Dialogue Forum.

Among the participants of the two days debate were many officials, spiritual leaders, experts and academicians – Mr. Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Head of the Department of Foreign Policy Affairs of the Presidential Administration, H.V. Sheikh Ul-Islam Allahshukur Pashazade, the Chairman of the Caucasus Muslims Board, Mr. Khalid Fathalrahman Omer Mohamed, Director of the Center for Civilizational Dialogue at ICESCO, Dr. Dodik Ariyanto, Head of the OIC Islamophobia Observatory, and many other dignitaries, scholars and media representatives.”

Well done Sara!
