This book investigates how the presence of Muslim students and Islamic identity challenges the established cultural and secular norms within British higher education institutions. Alison Scott-Baumann, a professor of society and belief, utilizes a combination of qualitative case studies and quantitative survey data to examine the intersection of neoliberal university policies, securitization agendas, and the lived experiences of Muslim students. The work argues that universities often struggle to reconcile their stated goals of inclusion with institutional practices that inadvertently marginalize or 'other' Islamic perspectives.
