Interiorising the borders of the nation: Civic education in Europe and the making of the Muslim citizen

在这个博士项目中，我探讨了如何将“公民教育”的概念动员到-à-vis穆斯林移民及其在欧洲的后代身上。自20世纪90年代以来，在整个非洲大陆，针对移民、伊斯兰教和融合问题的公民教育方法一直在兴起。它的部署是为了应对潜在的安全威胁（特别是来自“本土”的恐怖主义），以及管理国内的种族和宗教差异。我的目的是研究公民教育项目所想象和建构的穆斯林公民主体是什么样的。我特别感兴趣的是政治风险、毫无疑问的假设和构建这些项目的党派斗争，以及他们对“好穆斯林公民”的想象如何有助于在当代欧洲重新巩固包容和排斥的模式

In this doctoral project, I explore how a notion of 'civic education' is mobilised vis-à-vis Muslim immigrants and their descendants in Europe. Across the continent, a civic educational approach to issues of immigration, Islam, and integration has been on the rise since the 1990s. It is deployed to address potential security threats (notably emanating from 'home-grown' terrorism), as well as to manage domestic ethnic and religious difference. I aim to investigate what kind of Muslim citizen-subject is imagined and constructed by civic educational projects. In particular, I am interested in the political stakes, unquestioned assumptions, and partisan battles structuring these projects - and in how their imaginings of a 'good Muslim citizen' contribute to the re-entrenchment of patterns of inclusion and exclusion in contemporary Europe
