Recent high-profile interventions by politicians in the West declaring the failure of multiculturalism have had, as their very thinly disguised context, mistrust in those Muslim communities that have been growing in Western Europe and the United States since the end of the colonial era. While a certain amount of expediency and projection may be read into such utterances, the sense that multiculturalism has been a flawed experiment - and the idea that unintegrated Muslims are evidence of this - has become a truism of much journalism and media coverage too. Important work, particularly in the social sciences, is ongoing to identify the domestic and international factors leading to Muslim alienation within Western society. Thus far, however, political, cultural and philosophical questions of trust - how it is built, how it operates and how it can be undermined - have largely been overlooked in favour of a rush to judgement and a clamour for decisive action of one kind or another. This multidisciplinary project will serve to rectify this oversight by analysing the conditions of trust and mistrust in a number of areas of social and cultural life. As such, it will help to nuance and further the Global Uncertainties core interest in ideologies and beliefs. It takes the form of a network of scholars, non-academic partners and stakeholders, under the direction of Dr Peter Morey of the University of East London, who will come together to explore questions of trust and trust building in politics and society, culture and the arts, and business and finance. The geographical focus is on Britain and the United States, where thorny questions about the place of ethnic and cultural minority groups have taken on an added (and sometimes vitriolic) urgency, although the variety of diasporic communities that make up Muslim minorities in these countries mean that we will also engage with cultural practices and values born in South Asia and and the Arab world too. Through workshops, roundtable discussions, scholarly publications, exhibitions, video material and the Internet, we will build a platform for the latest thinking on intercultural trust, both at the theoretical and intellectual levels, and in everyday practices. An interactive website will be the first port of call for information, discussion, disseminating findings and archiving events. In addition, we will be building a web collection on Muslims and intercultural trust with the British Library which, taken together with the other outputs, will form a solid and evolving empirical and theoretical basis for understanding how trust is understood and enacted in contemporary multicultural societies.Muslims, Trust and Cultural Dialogue is committed to understanding how existing practices in a variety of cultural arenas enact dialogue and negotiation between groups in ways that can help us move beyond misunderstanding and negative stereotyping. It aims to provide a foundation of thoroughly researched knowledge that can then be used to build and shape dialogue at the level of community organisations and policy making. We will make significant interventions in public debates about intercultural dialogue and questions of trust: to explore how trust is created and how it can be nurtured as well as undermined; to empower groups utilising the various mechanisms of civic engagement; and to provide those engaged in political and social policy-making with a better understanding of how their activities affect others and how trust and dialogue can make them more effective.

西方政治家最近高调干预，宣布多元文化主义失败，其几乎不加掩饰的背景是对自殖民时代结束以来在西欧和美国不断增长的穆斯林社区的不信任。虽然这些言论可能带有一定程度的权宜之计和预测，但多元文化主义是一个有缺陷的实验的感觉-以及未融合的穆斯林是这一点的证据-已经成为许多新闻和媒体报道的真理。正在进行重要的工作，特别是在社会科学领域，以查明导致穆斯林在西方社会中被疏远的国内和国际因素。然而，迄今为止，信任的政治、文化和哲学问题-如何建立信任、如何运作信任以及如何破坏信任-在很大程度上被忽视，人们急于作出判断，并叫嚣着采取这样或那样的果断行动。这一多学科项目将通过分析社会和文化生活若干领域的信任和不信任状况，纠正这种疏忽。因此，它将有助于细微差别和促进全球不结盟运动在意识形态和信仰方面的核心利益。它采取了学者，非学术合作伙伴和利益相关者网络的形式，在东伦敦大学的彼得·莫雷博士的指导下，他们将聚集在一起，探讨政治和社会，文化和艺术，商业和金融领域的信任和信任建设问题。地理上的重点是英国和美国，在那里，关于种族和文化少数群体地位的棘手问题已经变得更加紧迫（有时甚至是尖刻的），尽管在这些国家构成穆斯林少数民族的各种散居社区意味着我们也将参与南亚和阿拉伯世界的文化习俗和价值观。通过研讨会，圆桌讨论，学术出版物，展览，视频材料和互联网，我们将建立一个平台，在理论和知识层面以及日常实践中对跨文化信任的最新思考。一个互动网站将是信息、讨论、传播调查结果和存档活动的第一站。此外，我们将与大英图书馆一起建立一个关于穆斯林和跨文化信任的网络收藏，与其他产出一起，将形成一个坚实和不断发展的经验和理论基础，以了解在当代多元文化社会中如何理解和实施信任。信任和文化对话致力于了解各种文化领域的现有做法如何在不同群体之间开展对话和谈判，帮助我们超越误解和负面刻板印象的方法。它旨在提供一个深入研究的知识基础，然后可以用来建立和塑造社区组织和政策制定层面的对话。我们将在关于文化间对话和信任问题的公开辩论中进行重要干预：探讨如何建立信任以及如何培养和破坏信任;利用各种公民参与机制增强团体的能力;并为那些参与政治和社会决策的人提供更好的了解他们的活动如何影响他人以及信任和对话如何使他们更有效。
