A decade on: Symposium reflects on the impact of the Trojan Horse affair on Muslim participation

An open symposium on the Trojan Horse affair at Birmingham University and on Microsoft Teams on Thursday 19 June provides a valuable opportunity for interested parties to reflect on the longer-term impact of the incident, including: To what extent have ‘liberal anxieties’ given rise to an illiberal environment for British Muslims? How have academies changed the accountability of schools from local communities to central government? How has Muslim civic engagement been affected by being placed under a security lens? What is its impact on engagement with schools? How might civic education in schools be reframed through a duty to promote citizenship? Speakers: Professor John Holmwood, University of Nottingham; Dr Ajmal Hussain, University of Warwick; Professor Reza Gholam, University of Birmingham.
