'Non-Muslim' and Muslim youth: religious identities, Islamophobia and everyday geopolitics

虽然研究引起了对伊斯兰恐惧症现象的关注，但很少有人提到伊斯兰恐惧症如何影响可能被误认为是穆斯林的“非穆斯林”少数民族年轻人的生活，以及这与他们对伊斯兰信仰者的感情有何关系。这项研究的独特之处在于将这类青年人作为研究的重点。这个新项目有四个相互关联的目标：1。探讨与苏格兰“非穆斯林”和穆斯林青年（12-25岁）的经历有关的伊斯兰恐惧症问题，这些青年因为看起来像穆斯林而成为目标，并解释不同宗教、种族和少数民族青年如何经历和理解伊斯兰恐惧症，以及这对社区关系、社会凝聚力和融合的影响。2.在认识到族裔与宗教、性别、社会阶层和地点等其他相关地位的交叉性的框架内分析这些经验。详细介绍年轻人如何理解和谈判“日常地缘政治”。我们使用“日常地缘政治”一词来指国际、国家、州和地方政治问题塑造人们日常生活的方式。4.将那些认为年轻人要么在政治上不参与和冷漠，要么在政治上激进和极端的两极分化的话语问题化。这个项目的重点是可能经常成为伊斯兰恐惧症目标的群体。迄今为止，关于这一主题或地缘政治事件对英国或苏格兰年轻人宗教和文化身份的影响的研究很少。我们将咨询的群体是：-“非穆斯林”亚洲人; -寻求庇护者和难民; -东欧移民; -国际学生; -和穆斯林。一系列的15个小组讨论（每个小组三个）和150个个人访谈将使我们能够产生大量的定性数据，以回答上述研究问题。这些与会者将来自三个地理环境，包括城市地区、城市/半城市地区和农村地区，以便我们能够评估地方在他们的伊斯兰恐惧症经历和应对中的作用。研究结果将通过6篇同行评审的国际期刊文章和6个相关的会议报告传播给学术用户群体。为了最大限度地发挥影响，我们的目标是通过一份政策文件和两个政策研讨会，一个学术研讨会，一系列三个区域社区会议，四篇通用语言文章和一个项目网站。这里的主要变化是从我们的5年级（但未资助）申请是增加了一个学术研讨会（也见学术受益人部分）和澄清我们使用的术语“地缘政治”。

Although research has drawn attention to the phenomenon of Islamophobia, very little has been said about how Islamophobia influences the lives of 'non-Muslim' minority ethnic young people who might be mistaken for being Muslim and how this relates to their feelings about those who affiliate with the Islamic faith. The unique aspect of this study is the inclusion of this category of young people as a focus of research. This novel project has four interrelated aims:1. To explore the issue of Islamophobia in relation to the experiences of 'non-Muslim' and Muslim youths (aged 12-25) in Scotland who are targeted because they look Muslim, and to explain how different religious, ethnic and minoritised youth experience and understand Islamophobia, the impact of this on community relations, social cohesion and integration. 2. To analyse these experiences within a framework that takes cognisance of the intersectionality of ethnicity with other relevant positionalities such as religion, gender, social class and locality 3. To detail how young people understand and negotiate 'everyday geopolitics'. We use the term 'everyday geopolitics' to refer to the ways in which international, national, state and local political issues shape, and are shaped by, people's everyday lives. 4. To problematise polarised discourses which see young people as either politically disengaged and apathetic or politically radicalised and extreme.This project focuses on groups who may often be the targets of Islamophobia. To date there has been little if any research on this topic or the impact of geopolitical events on their religious and cultural identities of young people in the UK or in Scotland. The groups we will consult are: - 'non-Muslim' Asian people; - asylum-seekers and refugees; - Eastern European migrants; - international students; - and Muslims. A series of 15 group discussions (three with each of these groups) and 150 individual interviews will enable us to generate a substantial corpus of qualitative data in order to answer the research questions identified above. These participants will be drawn from three geographical contexts including urban areas, urban/semi-urban areas and rural areas in order for us to be able to assess the role locality has in their experiences of, and responses to, Islamophobia. The findings of the research will be disseminated to academic user-groups through 6 peer-reviewed international journal articles and six linked conference presentations. In order to maximise impact, we aim to build upon our extensive contacts in local/national government and voluntary and community organisations through a policy paper and two policy workshops, an academic workshop, a series of three regional community conferences, four common-language articles and a project website.The main change here from our grade 5 (but unfunded) application is the addition of an academic workshop (see also academic beneficiaries section) and clarification of our use of the term 'geopolitics'.
