Abstract

Drawing together the edited collection, this conclusion chapter summarises four main themes apparent across chapters. These themes include Gendered Islamophobia, Muslims as under-served and seen to be undeserving, the dynamic and fluid nature of Islamophobia, and Hope. Whilst there is overlap in these themes, and indeed in the messaging within individual chapters, these four themes represent our collective disruption and symbolise the burgeoning presence of Muslim academics, staff, and students in the sector. This chapter concludes with future directions and poses a series of reflexive questions for readers to consider, as we all play a part in enacting transformative disruption and change.
