In recent years, geographers have been giving increasing attention to religion-and Islam in particular-yet such work is rarely referred to within the broader social science literature about Islam and Muslims. This paper seeks to promote interdisciplinary dialogue, discussion and debate by highlighting the contributions that human geographers are making to understandings of contemporary Islam. In particular, I draw upon research within urban, social, cultural and feminist geographies to review current trends within geographical scholarship about Muslims individuals and communities. I then use this paper to suggest ways in which interdisciplinary research-in collaboration with human geographers-might seek to advance contemporary understandings of the social and spatial experiences of Muslim families and communities. I propose that a focus upon households, nations and intersections offer potential avenues for future research, whilst also highlighting the importance of thinking critically about the methodological issues involved in understanding contemporary Islam

“…The study do not only explores ethnicity as a resource, but also as an obstacle in the pursuit of a professional career. Although education is widely viewed as a means of countering ethnicity-related disadvantages in the labour market (Dale et al, 2002), highly educated non-Western minorities still seem to face considerable discrimination (Heath and Cheung, 2007). Minorities' lower returns on educational qualifications than majority with respect to employment are commonly interpreted as discrimination (Hermansen, 2013).…”

This study sheds light on how ethnic minority students in Norway seek to navigate occupational opportunities after graduating from professional bachelor programmes. Students' career ambitions and career expectations are investigated. The study adopts a comparative approach and includes students of Asian origin, Western minority students as well as majority students. The findings show that ethnic minorities have higher career ambitions than majority students, but their career expectations are not correspondingly high. The study identifies ethnicity both as a resource (ethnic capital) and as an obstacle in the pursuit of a professional career. Structural disadvantages such as perceived discrimination seem to curb the utility of ethnic capital in capitalising on occupational opportunities, particularly for managerial positions. Ethnicity as a resource seems to play a role among both Asian and Western minority students, and appears particularly strong in the development of career ambitions and in the efforts to pursue educational qualifications.

“…It is worth noting in particular that the numbers of people of Asian Indian origin did not load highly on this component, but often loaded strongly on a separate component. The marked link seen between numbers of Pakistani and Bangladeshi residents and people who have not worked for some time may be at least partly connected to the very low levels of economic activity amongst Pakistani and Bangladeshi women in the UK, a factor that is not seen so strongly amongst Indian women [37]. It is notable that a measure of unemployment, which only considers those who are seeking work, loaded only moderately against this component and also exhibited moderate loadings against several other components.…”
