Nahid Afrose Kabir has recently taken up a position of Senior Research Fellow at the International Centre for Muslim and non-Muslim Understanding, University of South Australia. Currently, Dr Kabir is an honorary senior fellow in the School of Communications and Arts at Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia. In this lecture, Dr. Kabir will talk about her book “Young British Muslims: Identity, Culture, Politics and the Media.”

In Britain’s highly politicised social climate in the aftermath of the 7/7 London bombings, “Young British Muslims…” provides an in-depth understanding of British Muslim Identity through the following social constructs: migration history, family settlement, socio-economic status, religion and culture, and the wider societal environment.

Dr. Kabir was a visiting fellow (Aug. 2009 – July 2011) in Islam in the West program at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University, USA. Her current research project is titled, “An Understanding of the Identity of Muslim Youths and Young Adults in the United States of America.” Nahid Kabir is also the author of Muslims in Australia: Immigration, Race Relations and Cultural History (London: Routledge 2005).
