British university sets up research group to investigate challenges faced by Muslims

Liverpool Hope University has set-up a new interdisciplinary research group to examine the challenges faced by British Muslims in 21st-century Britain.

The main aims of the “Muslims in Britain Research Group” are to develop and share new ideas of research in the field; increase interdisciplinary research; identify areas of collaborative research; organise research seminars and conferences; and seek external funding for collaborative research projects.

The group will also be building partnerships with other research groups and centres and is actively looking to work with local and national Muslim community organisations on collaborative research projects and knowledge exchange partnerships.
