We start this week with the fascinating film of our ESR Hayat Douhan. Hayat’s participation in the MIDA-ENIS summer school is an occasion to explore her research context/population, which is the Moroccan Muslim religious field/community in the diaspora. In her presentation, she tackled the issue of Moroccan Imams in Europe with a focus in Germany. Great job, Hayat! #Islam_in_Europe#Moroccan_diaspora #Moroccan_Imams #Imam_training . #open_access #sharing_knowledge #science4all

We finish this week strong by presenting you the great film of our ESR Mounir Saifi. His presentation at the MIDA 2020 summer school discusses an online article that denies the Muslim conquest of Spain around 711. Mounir tries to understand how this counter-narrative of al-Andalus, or Spain under Muslim rule, is used to claim identity space for "Self" by a female author and (a)religious minority member within the Arab world. Enjoy his work and have a nice weekend! #itn_mida #

Good morning! We are happy to start this week with the great film of Mahdieh Tavakol. Mahdiehs research is focused on the library of Baha al-Din Muhammad al-Amili (1547-1621 CE), the great Jabal Amili scholar in Safavid Persia. Her video is a brief overview of her work and the way she is trying to reconstruct this historical library whose manuscripts are now scattered around the globe. Exciting film and research, Mahdieh! #itn_mida #wisskomm #IslamAndScience #digitalage #scic

We are getting closer to the weekend with the interesting and well done film of our ESR Rayane Al-Rammal. Her #research tackles the artistic renaissance that took place during the recent and ongoing Lebanese uprisings (October 2019 - ). Rayane is asking: How are digital artivistic forms of self-expression inspired by the revolution? And how do they circulate online? Enjoy Rayane's (directing) work and have a nice weekend.

Good Monday everybody! We are starting this week by presenting another entertaining video of our Early Stage Researchers. Aleeha Zahra´s work is about digitization and how religious experiences can unfold within it. She is asking i.e.: How can religious authority manifest on popular social media platforms like #YouTube? This film is a short introduction, scraping the surface of her #ethnographic research project. Great job, Aleeha! #itn_mida #wisskomm #IslamAndScience #digita

We honour this Friday by presenting the next film of our young researchers. If you want to know how phd candidate and anthropologist Eleonora Landucci works, let her take you by the hand and walk you through the first steps of her research. To present her work and herself in her entertaining short film, she used an animated drawing. We are impressed, Eleonora! Enjoy and have a nice weekend you all.
