Rapporten omhandler statens relasjoner til den muslimske friskole og fokuserer p\u00e5 de tradisjoner og rammer, som de muslimske friskoler opererer innenfor. I korte trekk tar rapporten seg, hvordan medborgerskapsbegrepet har utviklet seg i den vestlige verden og hvordan forskjeller i fortolkninger av begrepet stiller forskjellige krav til den pedagogiske hverdag. Videre behandler rapporten den danske friskoletradisjon sett i et medborgerskapsperspektiv og den Friskolelov, hvor disse tradisjoner lovgivningsmessig er operasjonalisert. Den beskjeftiger seg derfor ogs\u00e5 med de forskjellige former for tilsyn, som skolene er underlagt da det er her, det skapes et reelt belegg for kritikk av muslimske skoler. Til slutt gir\u00a0rapporten\u00a0en generell karakteristikk av den muslimske friskole. Rammene for de muslimske friskolers hverdag konstitueres slik sett p\u00e5 bakgrunn av de rettigheter og dermed de muligheter og begrensninger, som Friskoleloven setter, og gjennom statens daglige relasjoner til de muslimske friskoler, som de konstitueres mellom skoler, ministerier og tilsynsf\u00f8rende. Karakteren av disse er igjen en f\u00f8lge av det image, som de muslimske friskoler tillegges i den brede offentlighet. Den offentlige kritikk har s\u00e5nn sett hatt store konsekvenser for de muslimske skolers m\u00e5te \u00e5 h\u00e5ndtere undervisningen p\u00e5 og for brukernes forhold til samfunnet rundt. Dermed er b\u00e5de staten og den brede offentlighet aktive i skapelsen av islam som praksis i den muslimske friskole.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/org.uib.no\/imer\/seminars\/img\/Rapport_omslag_Friskoler[1]%20copy.jpg\" width=\"145\" height=\"181\" \/> Rapporten kan lastes ned<a href=\"http:\/\/tors.ku.dk\/forskning\/arbejdspapir\/\"> her<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Anette Haaber Ihle er lektor ved Institut for Tv\u00e6rkulturelle og Regionale Studier ved K\u00f8benhavns Universitet.

Thus city-regions are becoming central economic and political territories in which a new division of labour is occurring between the states and the local authorities. This tendency has been particularly analysed by the economic literature but also by geography, sociology and political science. At the same time, there is a large literature on the general tendency towards the pluralization of urban decision systems in different institutional, cultural, political and economic contexts. To say it briefly, these processes (i.e. political rescaling and participative democracy at local level) generate a new \u201cright to the city\u201d: the capacity to influence the agendas of urban public institutions by using \u201cappropriate\u201d demands based on the formulation of rights recognized as legitimate by urban institutions. The on-going process of the constitution of an \u201curban citizenship\u201d involves a set of social demands which are, by definition, contradictory in that sense that the \u201cright to the city\u201d must be linked to the social groups and classes using it in order to organize themselves, to generate collective identity and collective action. The work program of the Conference addresses a number of empirical subjects, all vectors of a \u201cright to the city\u201d. Its objective is to compare the effects of these dynamics on the content of urban policies and on the transformation of citizenship regimes.<\/p>\n<p>ESF Research Conferences provide the opportunity for the world&#8217;s leading scientists and other participants, including young researchers, to meet informally for discussions at the highest level on the most recent developments in their fields of research. They act as a catalyst for creating new synergistic contacts throughout Europe and the rest of the world. This conference will be of interest to academic and policy researchers in the field of higher education and to researchers in other relevant social science fields, e.g. science policy, regional development, governance, social equity.<\/p>\n<p>The conference will take place at Vadstena Klosterhotel, located in a lovely natural setting on the shores of beautiful lake V\u00e4ttern, offering comfortable accommodation in a historic environment. During the Middle Ages, Vadstena was the location of a catholic monastery for monks and nuns of the Birgittine order and nowadays the conference center and hotel is largely located in the same medieval buildings that were once the monastery.<\/p>\n<p>For more details about the sciencific content of this conference, please download the additional document <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esf.org\/fileadmin\/be_user\/activities\/research_conferences\/Docs_NEW\/2008\/2008-264add.pdf\">here<\/a> (PDF &#8211; 222 KB).<\/p>\n<p>Some grants are available for young researchers to cover the conference fee and travel costs.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esf.org\/conferences\/08264\/\">conference website<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/org.uib.no\/imer\/img\/border_gray.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a id=\"6\" name=\"6\"><\/a>Leverhulme Programme on Migration and Citizenship : cfp<\/h5>\n<h3>&#8220;Post-Immigration Minorities, Religion and National Identities&#8221;<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"51\"><strong>Time:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">14-15 November, 2008<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\"><strong>Place:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">University of Bristol, Bristol, UK<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>CALL FOR PAPERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the 1950s and early 1960s there have been migrations of people,<br \/>\nespecially from former colonies, into the European urban centres.<br \/>\nSubsequently, discourses of &#8216;assimilation&#8217; and &#8216;integration&#8217; were opened<br \/>\nup, in different countries of Europe. As the idea of a multicultural<br \/>\nsociety emerged, these discourses, together with traditional ideas of<br \/>\ncitizenship and national identity, have been challenged. Historic concerns<br \/>\nabout class inequalities have been complicated by new policy and<br \/>\nlegislative programmes on racial, ethnic and latterly religious exclusions.<br \/>\nThe slow movement towards eliminating such exclusions, especially as<br \/>\nmeasured in terms of educational and economic outcomes, have raised<br \/>\nquestions about to what extent the social capital possessed by different<br \/>\ngroups, especially when gendered, is a determinant of social (im)mobility.<br \/>\nAs the non-white minority populations have grown and their concentration in<br \/>\ncertain localities has exceeded expectations, anxieties have surfaced as to<br \/>\nwhether laissez-faire segregation will increase deprivation and\/or conflict<br \/>\nbetween communities. The political assertions of minorities have produced<br \/>\ncontested and emergent identities as mobilisations based on colour have<br \/>\nbeen eclipsed by those of ethnic origins and religion. As these groups have<br \/>\nstruggled for respect and justice and for acceptance as British, they have<br \/>\nbecome a source of transformation but also tension about what it means to<br \/>\nbe British today, whether the country has become &#8216;too diverse&#8217; and whether<br \/>\nmulticulturalism has simultaneously impeded integration whilst devaluing<br \/>\nthe indigenous, white majority. Significantly, this stress is being<br \/>\nexperienced across the political spectrum as it has come to focus on<br \/>\nwhether Muslim identity politics is challenging the privileged position of<br \/>\nChristian culture and\/or secularism that for many people is part of British<br \/>\nnational identity.<\/p>\n<p>The Leverhulme Programme team will address topics based on the following<br \/>\nthemes:<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; Ethnic Enclaves and Economic Integration<br \/>\n&#8221; Social Capital, Gender and Differential Educational and Economic Outcomes<br \/>\n&#8221; National Identity, Citizenship and Religious &#8216;Difference&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8221; Majoritarian Identities and Resentment of Multiculturalism<\/p>\n<p>Keynote speakers will address issues in relation to contemporary issues on<br \/>\nminority ethnicity, religion, integration and national identity, and<br \/>\ninclude:<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; Professor Zygmunt Bauman (Leeds)<br \/>\n&#8221; Professor Craig Calhoun (New York University and President of the Social<br \/>\nScience Research Council)<br \/>\n&#8221; Professor Nilufer Gole (L&#8217;\u00c9cole des Hautes \u00e9tudes en Sciences Sociales &#8211;<br \/>\nEHESS) (TBC)<br \/>\n&#8221; Professor Reina Lewis, (London College of Fashion)<br \/>\n&#8221; Professor Lord Bhikhu Parekh, (Westminister)<\/p>\n<p>We are inviting scholars from all relevant disciplines to submit papers for<br \/>\nthis conference that complement the above themes and topics.<\/p>\n<p>Please send your abstract (no more than 250 words) to<a href=\"mailto:sara.tonge@bristol.ac.uk\"> Sara Tonge <\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Deadline for submissions: 9 May 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Leverhulme Programme on Migration and Citizenship at the University of<br \/>\nBristol and University College London (2003-08) consists of eight projects<br \/>\non contemporary labour mobility, post-immigration ethnicity and challenges<br \/>\nto British national identity.

It was not until mid- 19th century that this basic human behaviour was<br \/>\nsurrounded with powerful ideologies of the nation-state and its concerns for population policies. Not only was<br \/>\nthere concern about the structure of home population, its physical, mental, racial, moral&#8230; and otherwise health; migration from the country was increasingly seen as a transgression, and immigration as danger. Throughout the 20th century in Europe, borders between states were contested, among other, on the grounds of ethnic affiliation of the population in disputed areas. Diasporic ethnic communities in the neighbouring states and in far-away places were established, or else invented, as \u2018severed limbs\u2019 of the national bodies that were seen as historically, linguistically and culturally pure and existing in a correct national spirit and form, while diasporic communities were seen as threatened by assimilation, degrading culture, loss of language, and loss of national consciousness. Diasporic ethnic communities invented their own histories that span from colonial \u2018civilising missions\u2019 to political persecution, to stories of dire hardship in the homeland that sent people on a quest for better life in masses.<\/p>\n<p>In this conference, of special interest to us is the way contemporary nation-states manage the relationship<br \/>\nbetween themselves and the communities they consider their ethnic diaspora. To quote Nina Glick Schiller, \u201c\u2018Long distance nationalism\u2019 can be defined as a set of ideas about belonging that link together people living in various geographic locations and motivates or justifies their taking action in relationship to an ancestral<br \/>\nterritory and its government.\u201d<br \/>\nOur primary question therefore is, how do the nationstates reciprocate these ideas of belonging, the actions,<br \/>\nand the ancestral notion? How do they invent and instigate, ideologically, legally and possibly financially<br \/>\nmanage, maintain and support the relationships with their diasporic communities?<br \/>\nTo address this question within a framework of comparative evidence, we are inviting discussion on four<br \/>\nseparate cases: those of Croatia, Israel, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. The questions we are asking are, among other possible, these:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; What is the history of a nation-state\/diaspora case?<br \/>\n-Which ideologies have dominated, and still dominate, the relationship?<br \/>\n-How are these relationship legally encoded?<br \/>\n-Which forms of mutuality exist between the national and the diasporic communities, and how are they sustained?<br \/>\n-Which ideas and teleologies are being (re)produced in the relationship?<br \/>\n<strong>Conference format<\/strong><br \/>\nEach of the four selected cases \u2013 Croatia, Israel, the Netherlands, Slovenia \u2013 will be discussed in a separate<br \/>\nsession. Each session will begin with a keynote lecture followed by 4 \u2013 5 presentations. Each session will<br \/>\nconclude with an interactive debate between the presenters and the audience.<br \/>\nThe conference is one in a series of events that the Institute of Ethnic Studies in Ljubljana is organising to<br \/>\ncelebrate the onset of the 9th decade of its existence and continuous work in the fields of ethnicity, nationalism, migration and minority studies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keynote speakers<\/strong><br \/>\nFour key speakers will open each session:<\/p>\n<p>-Dr Sammy Smooha, Haifa University<br \/>\n-Dr Mladen Klemen\u010di\u010d, Miroslav Krle\u017ea Lexicographical institute, Zagreb<br \/>\n-Dr Ton van Naerssen, Nijmegen University;<br \/>\n-Dr Irena \u0160umi, Institute of Ethnic Studies, Ljubljana<\/p>\n<p><strong>Presenters<\/strong><br \/>\nFour to five presenters in each session will be selected from among the applicants by the Organising committee, and with the aid of keynote speakers.
