Research Questions

Five key questions frame the project:

  1. What forms of political participation do Muslims in Scotland engage in?
  2. How does the distinctive nature of Scotland’s political, social and cultural landscape impact on how Muslims participate politically?
  3. How does political participation impact on senses of integration and belonging?
  4. Do localised urban geographies within Scotland produce distinctive forms of Muslim political participation?
  5. How do global political events intersect with national/local issues in mobilising Muslim political participation in Scotland?
