This report sets out the finding of the first phase of the contribution by the Centre for Sociology, Anthropology and Politics (C-SAP) to the Higher Education Academy’s (HEA) Islamic Studies Project. Dr Malcolm Todd, then the Associate Director of C-SAP, was the subject centre lead on the original bid to the Higher Education Funding Council to establish a national Islamic Studies Network (ISN). As part of the work of the ISN Dr Todd appointed Dr Max Farrar, Emeritus Professor at Leeds Metropolitan University, as a Senior Associate, to commission up to ten Case Studies from social science colleagues teaching on the topic of Islam within UK Universities.
