In this religious organisation, youth mostly with migration background are engaged in studying Islamic scriptures, learning social practices and body comportments that are considered as essential in crafting a religious self.<\/p>\n<p>The study is concerned with how young people learn to live out Islam in a religious \u2018faith community\u2019 and how religious identification is constructed, formed and negotiated at a group level. It provides a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between the youth\u2019s individual religiosity and that of a wider religious group, in addition to how a religious identification is a creative process, continuously being crafted within social spaces and structures.<\/p>\n<p>Young Muslims display creativity of action which allows them to relate to Islam and religious orthodoxy in different ways; at the same time, it does not imply that their religiosity should be understood as a process of secularisation, individualisation or simply a cherry picking selection as some studies on Muslims in Europe suggest. Instead, this thesis explores how a subject\u2019s religious agency is informed by her social location within the group, but also how religious agency opens up for multiple strategies and creative ways of acting, without implying that the individual must reject or withdraw from her faith community. At the same time, the focus on being a \u2018correct\u2019 Muslim and the felt need to improve the stained image of Islam and Muslims in Europe and to represent Islam \u2018correctly\u2019 bring forth social pressure from themselves, from their peers and from the \u2018anonymous\u2019 Muslim population on how the youth should behave in the public sphere.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nSynn\u00f8ve Bendixsen is currently completing her PhD thesis in Social Anthropology on the religious identity of young female Muslims in Berlin at the European Ethnology, Humboldt University (Berlin) and Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (Paris).<\/p>\n<p>She was a DFG-Fellow at the Transatlantisches Graduiertenkolleg Berlin \u2013 New York, based at the Center for Metropolitan Studies (Berlin) (2005-2007).

Background<\/p>\n<p>The German-Spanish and the German-Greek recruitment agreements were signed fifty years ago on 29\/30 March 2010. They came after the first such agreement between the Federal Republic and Italy in 1955 and led to the conclusion of a series of other such labour recruitment agreements, particularly with countries around the Mediterranean (Turkey 1961, Morocco 1963, Portugal 1964, Tunisia 1965, Yugoslavia 1968). Between 1961 and 1973, the year in which official recruitment efforts were stopped, roughly 14 million migrants from the &#8220;recruitment&#8221; countries came to the Federal Republic of Germany; 11 million left it again to return to their home countries. After the Federal Republic had stopped looking for labour migrants, the German Democratic Republic started to recruit so-called &#8220;contract workers&#8221;, albeit at a much smaller scale.<br \/>\nSince the beginning of the 1970s the GDR turned largely to European COMECON member states as well as to Algeria, Cuba, Mozambique, Vietnam, Mongolia, Angola and China.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1970s and 1980s foreign workers&#8217; recruitment and arrival in the Federal Republic was the subject of &#8220;foreigners studies&#8221; (&#8220;Ausl\u00e4nderforschung&#8221;) which had mostly a sociological or educational studies focus. Since the 1990s historians have increasingly become interested in the subject. By now, numerous results are available for a broad range of topics &#8211; starting from the reasons for migration, going on to political discussions on different types of recruitment and local or regional consequences of migration and ending with the life-changing experiences of migrants during the arrival and integration process.<\/p>\n<p>The anniversary of the 1960 recruitment agreements is a good occasion to bundle the results of the existing studies on labour migration to the Federal Republic of Germany and to formulate new questions. At the<br \/>\noccasion of the 50th anniversary of the German-Italian recruitment agreement an impressive range of conclusions was presented via a number of exhibitions, conferences and book publications. However, historical research has grown strongly again in the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>That is why the research department of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees in Nuremberg, the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural<br \/>\nStudies (IMIS) at the University of Osnabr\u00fcck and the Departamento de Historia Contempor\u00e1nea of the Universidad Complutense in Madrid will provide a new, international forum for discussions on 29\/30 March 2010 in Nuremberg.<\/p>\n<p>II. Topics<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the symposium is to bundle the results of research on different aspects of labour migration to the Federal Republic of Germany. This includes topics such as 1 the political negotiations between the Federal Republic and the different recruitment countries, the administrative implementation of the agreements,<br \/>\n2 the effects of the recruitment on the labour markets in both Germany and the recruitment countries,<br \/>\n3 the establishment and the effects of migration networks, 4 aspects of social and workplace integration, return and its economic, social, political and cultural effects in the countries of origin and for the migration networks.<\/p>\n<p>Studies on the different countries of origin and comparative research are very welcome, as are papers which analyse the historical events with a view to current developments. Contributions which deal with contract<br \/>\nworkers in the GDR are highly appreciated as well.<\/p>\n<p>The symposium will be held in German and English. A conference volume with key contributions shall be published.<\/p>\n<p>III. Deadline and contact data<br \/>\nAll interested participants are asked to present by 15 November 2009 a proposal in German or English (max. 3,000 characters excl. spaces), which gives a short overview of the topic, the reasoning and the results.

However, research suggests that issues, which might have mobilised individuals into taking political action in the past, are now being tackled in many cases via voluntary, community or charitable activities, protest movements or consumer activism instead.<br \/>\nHence, current trends in political participation, especially among younger people, may be indicative not of public disengagement per se but of a shift to a different kind of public activism.<\/p>\n<p>Gendered perspectives on cultural, civic and political engagement, which explore the conditions governing women\u2019s participation, as well as perspectives which examine engagement and participation among migrant or minority groups, can be especially illuminating here. Women, migrants and minorities play vital roles in any society, contributing through their skills, labour, taxes, community participation and cultural activities. Yet, when restrictive criteria, practices or policies prevent members of these groups from participating fully in the<br \/>\npolitical, civic and cultural life of the country in which they live, members of these groups often develop novel forms of engagement in order to circumvent the obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>This conference aims to take stock of the different forms of civic, political and cultural engagement which currently exist, and investigate the factors and processes which are driving them. A special feature of the conference this year will be an event organised by the Runnymede Trust, which will consider where Britain stands 10 years after the Parekh Report on the future of multi-ethnic Britain and 25 years after the Swann Report.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to encourage the submission of papers which address the following themes:<\/p>\n<p>o Active engagement, interaction, expression and dissension at civic, political or cultural levels<br \/>\no The participation of young people, women, migrants and minorities<br \/>\no Different forms of engagement among adult national majority populations<\/p>\n<p>As this is an international conference, papers reporting on contexts other than the UK are especially welcome.<\/p>\n<p>More <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surrey.ac.uk\/Arts\/CRONEM\">information<\/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=\"11\" name=\"11\"><\/a>NEW network: Canadian Committee on Migration, Ethnicity and Transnationalism (CCMET)<\/h5>\n<p>The Canadian Committee on Migration, Ethnicity and Transnationalism is a new academic organization that was created to foster and facilitate collaboration among historians working in this field.

The scholarships are for a period of three years from January 1st, 2010. After successful completion of the PhD, an additional post-doc option can be granted for 18 months to publish the results and prepare research proposals. The scholarships are part of an interdisciplinary research group on the social and economic potentials of religious communities. Under supervision of Jun.-Prof. Alexander-Kenneth Nagel the doctoral candidates are to conduct research on religious migrant networks and their integrative potentials in ethnically and culturally diverse regions, such as the Ruhrgebiet. The focal point of the research group is a network analytical perspective on tangible and non-tangible resources provided by religious communities either on their own or in conjunction with other religious (e.g. interfaith coalitions) or non-religious organizations (e.g. public-private partnerships).<\/p>\n<p>Applicants are required to have an advanced university degree (master level) in Religious or Cultural Studies or Social Sciences as well as the capability and Readiness to pursue empirical fieldwork and to become actively involved in interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration. Engagement with the study of migration, anthropology at home or local religious history would be desirable. Proficiency in network analysis is useful, but not required, since skills will be developed in the initial phase of the research group. The Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t aims at increasing the share of women in research and teaching and encourages female scientists to apply. Applications with the usual documents (CV, degree certificates, publication list, letter of motivation) and a short proposal of the dissertation topic (3-4 pages) should be sent to Jun.-Prof. Dr. Alexander-Kenneth Nagel, Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum, Center for Religious Studies (CERES), Universit\u00e4tsstra\u00dfe 150, D-44780 Bochum or to alexander-kenneth.nagel@rub.de until the 15th of November 2009.<\/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=\"13\" name=\"13\"><\/a>Publications:<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>* J\u00f8rgen S.
