Abstract

Sughra Ahmed is a Research Fellow in the Policy Research Centre of the Islamic Foundation. Her current area of research is exploring the migratory and settlement experiences of first generation Muslim women and men in the UK. As well as this she has worked with a number of organisations to consider the issues young people face whilst growing up in the UK and the impact of this upon wider British communities and has published ‘Seen and Not Heard: Voices of Young British Muslims’(2009). She previously co-ordinated the ‘Women in Faith’interfaith project, training British Muslim women to take the lead in interfaith activity at a regional and national level.
