As the project evolves, the research team will produce a rich combination of outputs consisting of monographs, edited volumes, and articles in leading journals while also maximising potential for impact through producing policy briefs and media reports. The project will also run a dedicated working papers series in which other researchers are also welcome to submit papers for publication.

Past Publications

Professor Bano has published related works under a previously-held European Research Council Starter Grant, Changing Structures of Islamic Authority and Consequences for Social Change: A Transnational Review (CSIA) (grant number 337108). The six-year project brought together Islamic textual scholars, ethnographers and survey specialists to map the competing theological positions of today's leading Islamic authorities, to examine their real-life consequences, and to explore why young Muslims follow one authority over another.
