- This monograph presents the statistical and ethnographic findings from a three-year AHRC project (2015-18) looking at British higher education through the lens of Islam and free speech on campus. The evidence bank is the largest yet collected and provides a balanced yet critical analysis of the curriculum, cultural identities and relations between the sector and government. We initiate a deeper, broader debate about the identity of the multifaith, multicultural campus. Our research shows how universities often tacitly facilitate a democratic deficit, yet can and must provide students with education on existential and cultural crises around gender, race and social justice.
