| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In recent years, geographers have been giving increasing attention to religion- and Islam in particular-yet such work is rarely referred to within the broader social science literature about Islam and Muslims. This paper seeks to promote interdisciplinary dialogue, discussion and debate by highlighting the contributions that human geographers are making to understanding of contemporary Islam. In particular, I draw upon research within urban, social, cultural and feminist geographies to review current trends within geographical scholarship about Muslims individuals and communities. I then use this paper to suggest ways in which interdisciplinary research-in collaboration with human geographers-might seek to advance contemporary understanding of the social and spatial experences of Muslim families and communities. |
