Roger Griffin is widely acknowledged to be one of the world's foremost experts on the socio-historical and ideological dynamics of fascism, as well as the relationship of various forms of political or religious fanaticism, and in particular contemporary terrorism, to modernity. He began teaching at what was then Oxford Polytechnic over forty years ago, and has played an active part in its evolution into what is regularly voted the UK's outstanding New University in the country, working alongside one of the most successful teams of historians in England in terms of the quality of its research output 'per head' according to the RAE of 2001.
Anisa Mustafa is an ESRC-funded doctoral research student at the School of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Nottingham. Anisa’s doctoral research is titled: ‘Active citizenship, dissent and civic consciousness: a study of the political and civic activism of young British Muslims’. This study focuses on the non-electoral political and civic activism of young British Muslims in the Midlands region of the UK to gain an empirically informed understanding of how these forms of participation relate to citizenship and civic identity. Prior to undertaking PhD study Anisa has worked as a journalist and executive assistant in both Pakistan and the UK. Anisa’s research interests focus on areas of citizenship, political participation, social movements, cultural politics, multiculturalism, youth, marginalisation, social inequalities and social science research methods.
