- This book draws on ethnographic research, spread over eight years (2010-17), to present the first comparative study of female Islamic scholarly networks in three countries. Fieldwork comprised several repeat visits to Nigeria and Pakistan as well as interviews with Syrian migrants in the UK, Europe and Turkey, after an initial research visit to Syria in 2010. More than 30 preaching networks were observed, involving well over 200 respondents. The book develops a conceptual framework that merges debates on knowledge creation in institutional economics with theories of female agency in anthropology, and also has a strong historical analytical component.
