Muslim Citizens in the West:
Promoting Social Inclusion
The Centre for Muslim
States and Societies at The University of Western
Australia, in collaboration with the Australian Institute
of International Affairs (WA Branch), will be hosting a
three day international symposium which will draw on the
expertise of academics, practitioners and Muslim experts.
They will explore the interaction between social,
political, economic, cultural and religious factors that
may contribute to a sense of inclusion or exclusion among
Muslim minorities living in the West.

- What factors and policies in the host societies promote
inclusion or exclusion of Muslims in the West?

contribute to their real or perceived exclusion?
- What role do faith-based schools, media, women and youth
organizations, and Muslim associations play in the
process?
- How can state and societal groups promote Muslim inclusion
in Western Societies?
- What role can be assigned to interfaith dialogue groups in
promoting communal harmony and social inclusion of Muslims in
their respective societies?
