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.
