Help research into Sunni-Shi'a identity in London
Assalamu Alaikum Brothers and Sisters
I am a Muslim PhD candidate in Social Anthropology at Oxford, researching Sunni-Shi'a identity and relations in London.
I am interested in interviewing Sunnis from London as to their views on what it means to be Sunni in modern Britain and how they view Shi'as/Shi'ism.
The interviews will be conducted either individually or in groups (via email/msn or in person). Your personal views will be respected and treated in the strictest confidence. Your identity will be kept anonymous.
So, regardless of who you are I am interested in hearing from you, inshallah. If you have an experience, view or opinion then you have something to contribute towards my fieldwork and hence a greater understanding of Sunnis, Sunnism and Shi'ism in modern Britain.
For those interested in participating, my contact details are below. As to myself, I am a registered PhD candidate at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology (www.isca.ox.ac.uk) and The Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (www.compas.ox.ac.uk) at Oxford. The following is a link to my biography:
