The development sector has largely maintained an apolitical posture focusing on expanding their outreach, commercial enterprises and access to donor assistance. As a consequence of new economic realities and dynamics of financial markets at local and global level, the sector is increasingly ...

Migration and Belonging: Brown Muslim Women’s Experience in Australia

Singh, Supriya, & Babacan, Alperhan, MIGRATION, BELONGING AND THE NATION STATE, Newcastle (UK): Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Apr 21, 2010

Over the last few years, Muslims have become a fifth column or a pariah, therefore migration debates largely revolve around their experiences as homogenous, and remain focused on issues of identity; integration; sense of belonging to Australia; Hijab; and Jihad, especially after numerous incidents linked with potential acts of terrorism. Muslim women have become symbols of religious authenticity by wearing hijab, ...

Radicalisation of Civil Society: A Case Study of Pakistan

Irrespective of diverse religious rituals and practices among Pakistani Muslims, religion remained a uniting force, albeit for a brief period, after 1947. The break-up of Pakistan in 1971 was a blow to the Islamic/religious identity of Pakistan. In subsequent years the civil regime led by ZA Bhutto tried to revive this religious identity, but it was the military ...

Negotiating Rights Through Transnational puritan Networks: Religious Discourses; Cyber Technology and Pakistani Women

Rashid, Tahmina,(2011) Negotiating Rights through Transnational puritan networks: Religious discourses, Apr 20, 2011

The question of women's rights needs to be examined in the context of their class, ethnic and rural/urban location. The emerging themes range from victim hood; subjectivity; subordination; patriarchal culture; prevailing religious discourses and discriminatory nature of family laws. This paper would discuss the current situation, within the context of existing legal frameworks defining and redefining ...

It argues that freedom movement uprooted local identity and artificially constructed a new Muslim identity that has further the lower status accorded to women in Pakistan. It examines women's rights through various discourses of class and patriarchy and determination of women's status.

Mainstream debates on counter terrorism created fear among mainstream society to view Muslims as the threat, simultaneously leading to fear among Muslims from the state.

Some work for life, others during the academic breaks, and a good number of them are doing such work as part of their education and a pathway to a career in the development sector. They bring back fascinating stories to share with peers, friends and families; they post comments on ...

It explores the development of this discipline from a pedagogical perspective stressing the need for a closer examination of the current pedagogical practices.

Role-play Simulation as Alternative to Work Experience Placement

The simulation "Pakistan: Democracy, Development and Human Rights" is intended to give students a choice between work experience placement and playing a role in a simulation. The simulation took place over a whole semester in 2010 and was intended to give students an option to do their work experience in a virtual environment rather than at a work place. Most role playing simulation games that serve educational needs are usually part of a course that is either taught fully online or as a hybrid – part online part face-to-face. At the University of Canberra we have, we believe as a world first, replaced a full work experience course with an online role play simulation. The paper discusses the problem faced by students in finding work experience placement, outlines the design of the simulation, how the design fulfills the objectives of the course, the issues that we encountered during the pilot and the result of the pilot from the student's perspective and the course coordinator.

Their subjectivity and subordinate position is discussed as imposed, through textual representations by orthodox and radical Muslims. Radical Islamic movements are examined as militarized masculinities, oppressing women as well as terrorizing the non-Muslims. This paper argues that women are active partners of their subordination within traditionalist and radical religious movements.

International development : linking academia with development aid & effectiveness

by Jason Flanagan and Tahmina Rashid

International development studies play a significant role in poverty reduction; post-conflict development; disaster relief and humanitarian assistance; gender equality; and peace building and human security. There are questions of how the academy deals with issues of development and Third World heterogeneity, relevance of course content, motives, processes and methodologies that shape development studies programs. The aim of this edited volume is to provide a forum for academics, development practitioners, policy makers and researchers to contest the way development studies are taught in higher education institutions and provide fresh insights for development and aid effectiveness. The authors argue that international development studies is the training ground for aspiring development and aid-agency personnel within and outside government, and closely examine the current pedagogical practices
