  A sociological study of the recontextualisation of Islam as school knowledge in the UK education system. It explores the conceptualisation of school-based Islam on two levels: as a symbolic category in English religious education as a consequence of policy shifts, and as pedagogic discourse at the local community level in state and Muslim schools.
