A really interesting proposal from the last plenary @MuslimsInBritRN #ConvertsConference about guidance for UK mosques on how to receive & support converts. Maybe where @IslamUKCentre's Imams project could look at *how* to disseminate this.

I chaired a fascinating, almost frighteningly synergistic panel on history and legacy of late 19th C European converts to Islam. Apologies that it was indeed a manel, though female scholars are amply featured at @MuslimsInBritRN #ConvertsConference

Flying visit from my self-imposed exile from Twitter to share photos and news from today's @MuslimsInBritRN conference with @IslamUKCentre at @cardiffuni The subject is transformation and Muslim convert experience, led ably by @sgilliat and @DrAsmaKhan7's project.

Brilliant to see you and so many others at our on campus Connections to Grangetown event yesterday for @cardiffuni staff and students to learn more about Community Gateway and civic mission projects!

I came a little late for the discussions but enjoyed meeting colleagues and carrying the @IslamUKCentre banner to the @CommunityGtwy Love Grangetown networking event today on campus. This is right up our alley!

I've been posting blogs about the songs on my record Driving Through America at Night. The latest is about "November", which was nearly cut from the album but saved by a crunchy Rhodes line. Plus, a window into the sketchy home recording setup. anearthwithoutgrammar.wordpress.com/2024/07/20/son…

It's been wild being back on Twitter consistently this week to post about #SocRel24 Very happy to now take that energy back to Bluesky, & all are of course welcome to join me! Anyone who's just started following me - e-mail is good, or who knows? Maybe I'll see you on LinkedIn.

From @AledJLlThomas with emerging paradigms around NRMs/minority religions, we turn to Eileen Barker @InformReligion who has really laid the boundary markers for this whole sub field. #SocRel24
