Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education and Muslim Identity During a Time of Tension explores life inside an Islamic Center and school in present-day America. Melanie Brooks’ work draws on in-depth discussions with community and school leaders, teachers, parents and students to present thoughtful and contemporary perspectives on many issues central to American-Muslim identities. Particularly poignant are the children’s voices, as they discuss their developing identities and how they navigate the choice of being American, Muslim, or both. The book covers topics ranging from establishing the community and the considerations involved, the management of diversity within the community, and approaches to modern opinions on and experiences of gender and extremism in the western world. Based on focus groups, interviews and observations collected over a two-year period, this book serves as a fascinating and informative insight into the culture and experiences of modern American Muslims. This is essential reading for students and researchers interested in education, religion, politics, sociology, and most particularly in contemporary Islamic studies.

Written in an easy and accessible format, this book covers the foundations of business ethics by drawing from both Eastern and Western traditions. The chapters include many examples, case studies, activities, and illustrations that are customized to the Middle Eastern market, yet relevant to readers outside of the Middle East who want thorough insights about business behaviour in the region. A special module introduces the Arab Middle Eastern context that non-Arab readers will find valuable. The author addresses topics related to organizational culture, leadership, CSR, corporate governance, marketing, HR, accounting, finance, and production. This is accomplished with a deep attention to the cultural and contextual elements of the Middle East. Special attention is given to religious business ethics, while still deeply engaging the vast heritage of Western ethical systems. This combination is essential for the development of a comprehensive approach to the topic of business ethics. This textbook will be essential reading for students of business ethics in the Middle East and will also be valuable for students and researchers across business ethics, Islamic Studies, religion, and philosophy.

Download or read book Culturally Relevant Curriculum written by Ghutai Amin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle Easterners and Muslims have historically been ignored or inaccurately portrayed in literature and curriculum based textbooks, as the limited information found was offered exclusively from a Western perspective (Wingfield & Karaman, 1995). Even before the September eleventh attack and influx of Middle Eastern, Muslims immigration in the United States, an imperialist perspective of exclusion or "other" took shape. The exclusion of Middle Easterners and Muslims in literature was reflective of the socio cultural assimilation era. Nonetheless, the systematic exclusion was, and is, psychologically detrimental for Middle Eastern Americans. For instance, Landt (2011) explains the "feelings of marginalization, invisibility, and rejection can occur when students do not see self reflected in what they read" (p. 3). The omission of Middle Easterners experiences fosters ineptitude in Middle Eastern children and youth (Al-Hazza and Butcher, 2008a; Fox & Short, 2003; Iskander, 1997). These students may surrender aspects of their Middle Eastern and Islamic heritage in favor of assimilation as a gateway to integrate and feel accepted by their peers (Miller, 1995; Nasir & Saxe, 2003; Olsen, 1997; Taylor & Whittaker, 2003). The researcher will provide primary and secondary educators in the San Juan Unified School District a comprehensive training on the effectiveness of facilitating cultural relativity through multicultural literature, with an emphasis on Middle Eastern American literature. The key elements of the project include summarizing the historic and current representation of the Middle East and Islam, examining the portrayal of Middle Easterners and Muslims in multicultural children and young adult literature and offering analysis on the implications of said literature for both Middle Eastern, Muslim American students and non-Middle Eastern, American students. Additionally, the researcher will provide recommendations to rectify the literary image of Middle Eastern, Muslim Americans from a multicultural, social justice paradigm. Cultural relativity training should be a fundamental element of education credential programs. While most teachers acquire classroom management skills and learn how to implement core curriculum, many lack the resources and preparation to teach to diverse student populations, and not at them (Freire, 1970). The goal of this project was to provide cultural relativity training, with an emphasis on the Middle Eastern, Muslim American culture through an interactive presentation and workshop. To promote a cooperative learning atmosphere, a familiar and comfortable setting for the participants was utilized to promote a discussion, collaboration and inquiry. A PowerPoint (appendix A) was utilized as a backdrop to virtually weave together the three main components of the training (Clark, 2008): A brief overview of the damage of the single Middle Eastern, Muslim story, the introduction of authentic Middle Eastern, Muslim literature via a comprehensive Recommended Book List (appendix D), a collaborative workshop to inspire participants to integrate the books in their classroom curriculum. Cultural diversity training can be effective in raising awareness and challenge the oppressive treatment of Middle Eastern, Muslim American students (Britto, 2011). The training is offered as an essential first step in challenging the single story ascribed to minority groups.
Download or read book Ethics CSR and Sustainability ECSRS Education in the Middle East and North Africa MENA Region written by Noha El-Bassiouny and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is undergoing significant socio-political and developmental transition. Although interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the region is growing, little research has addressed corporate social responsibility education and its potential impact. CSR has an important role to play in the socio-economic development of the Middle East and North Africa due to the volatility and developmental needs of the region. Recent research has highlighted that the vitality of the institutional environment and the needs of multiple stakeholders in CSR are not necessarily consistent with the notion of CSR in the West. This book compiles conceptual, contextual, and empirical research that addresses the concepts of CSR, ethics, and sustainability education in the MENA region, with a special emphasis on how educators can bridge to the Giving Voice to Values approach. This book presents a much-needed portfolio of articles from authors based in Egypt, Morocco, the Sultanate of Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), highlighting first an overview of the topic and its corresponding publications in the MENA region, then presenting several exemplary cases related to ECSRS application in various countries.
Download or read book Handbook of Arab American Psychology written by Mona M. Amer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Arab American Psychology is the first major publication to comprehensively discuss the Arab American ethnic group from a lens that is primarily psychological. This edited book contains a comprehensive review of the cutting-edge research related to Arab Americans and offers a critical analysis regarding the methodologies and applications of the scholarly literature. It is a landmark text for both multicultural psychology as well as for Arab American scholarship. Considering the post 9/11 socio-political context in which Arab Americans are under ongoing scrutiny and attention, as well as numerous misunderstandings and biases against this group, this text is timely and essential. Chapters in the Handbook of Arab American Psychology highlight the most substantial areas of psychological research with this population, relevant to diverse sub-disciplines including cultural, social, developmental, counseling/clinical, health, and community psychologies. Chapters also include content that intersect with related fields such as sociology, American studies, cultural/ethnic studies, social work, and public health. The chapters are written by distinguished scholars who merge their expertise with a review of the empirical data in order to provide the most updated presentation of scholarship about this population. The Handbook of Arab American Psychology offers a noteworthy contribution to the field of multicultural psychology and joins references on other racial/ethnic minority groups, including Handbook of African American Psychology, Handbook of Asian American Psychology, Handbook of U.S. Latino Psychology, and The Handbook of Chicana/o Psychology and Mental Health.
