The 'War on Terror' ushered in a new era of anti-Muslim bias and
racism. Anti-Muslim racism, or Islamophobia, is influenced by local
economies, power structures and histories. However, the War on
Terror, a conflict undefined by time and place, with a homogenised
Muslim 'Other' framed as a perpetual enemy, has contributed towards
a global Islamophobic narrative. This edited international volume
examines the connections between interpersonal and institutional
anti-Muslim racism that have contributed to the growth and
emboldening of nativist and populist protest movements globally. It
maps out categories of Islamophobia, revealing how localised
histories, conflicts and contemporary geopolitical realities have
textured the ways that Islamophobia has manifested across the
global North and South. At the same time, it seeks to highlight
activism and resistance confronting Islamophobia. -- .
Schools of Education are emerging academic units in higher
educational institutions in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations.
Most of these teacher training programs are in their infancy
stages. Modern day educational discourse across teacher training
programs globally, including the Middle East and in the GCC, have
predominantly focused on student-centered approaches to teaching
and learning. This approach to teacher training is infused with
critical scholarship and marks a shift away from positivist
approaches to educational scholarship. Integrating critical
scholarship in GCC teacher training programs brings about a number
of challenges, as this approach to education is a departure from
traditional cultural and social norms for schooling in the region.
This multidisciplinary volume highlights some of the challenges and
complexities that inevitably arise from this paradox. Professors,
researchers, and specialists working in the GCC have contributed to
this volume with the intent of empowering educators with authentic
and contextualized research and insights to advance collective
understanding of the complexities and challenges of teacher
education and training in the GCC. Ultimately, this work will serve
as a practical tool and resource that can be employed by schools of
education to provide authentic insights, strategies, and research
to further develop teacher training in the GCC and globally.
