Overview
Research interests
My research focusses on the social scientific/anthropological study of religion in public life in Britain, and especially in public institutions. I have conducted extensive research on chaplaincy, especially in prisons and hospitals, since 1994. I am the Founding Director of the Islam-UK Centre, established in 2005, and am committed to research that promotes understanding of Islam and the life of Muslim communities in Britain. In 2013, the Islam-UK Centre delivered Cardiff University's first 'MOOC' (Massive Open Online Course) entitled: Muslims in Britain: changes and challenges. Since 2009, the Islam-UK Centre has been in receipt of a generous donation that has enabled the establishment and growth of the Jameel Scholarship Programme. In 2019, the Jameel Research Programme was established. This is supporting three new projects on: Muslims, pastoral care and mental health (which will be developed into a new MOOC); the work of Imams in Britain; and, a project to develop our original MOOC material into teaching and learning resources for RE teachers.
I was appointed as an OBE in the 2020 New Year Honour's List, and in 2019, I was elected as a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales. In 2018, I took up my role as a member of the panel for the 2021 REF for Theology and Religious Studies. During 2018, I was also elected as Chair of the BSA 'Sociology of Religion Study Group'. Between 2015 and 2017, I was a Commissioner for the Citizens UK project on 'Islam, Participation and Public Life' (Chair: Rt Hon Dominic Grieve QC).
