Young Muslims, Pedagogy and Islam: Contexts and Concepts

Written by a leading practitioner and academic in the field of youth and community work, this multidisciplinary book approaches the lives of Muslim young people from theoretical, social, and theological viewpoints. M. G. Khan moves beyond notions of gendered provision and confessional activity to ask what defines a Muslim pedagogy. He presents a theoretical frame for Muslim youth work that is accessible to informal educators and Muslims alike, providing insight and analysis of nuances that are only possible from on-the-ground engagement.

M. G. Khan was a lecturer in youth and community work at the University of Birmingham before establishing the Muslim Youth Work Foundation and helping develop the first Muslim youth work degree at the University of Chester.
