 <br /><strong>Conceptual Framework</strong><br /><br />The social facts of 
 globalization, transnational migration and the various interpretations of s
 ecularism have challenged the visibility of religion in the public sphere i
 n &ldquo;Western&rdquo; societies. This has most importantly and urgently r
 equired religious authorities to revisit their organization, governance and
  internal hierarchy, which link believers and their community to God. Islam
 ic religious authority is no exception. All over the Islamic world and Euro
 pe, Islamic religious authority is still struggling to negotiate its place 
 among the institutions of the modern state. The imamate is one of the insti
 tutions that is experiencing a shift in roles and functions in society amid
 st these institutions.<br /><br /><br /><strong>This conference will examin
 e the following major themes:</strong><br /><br />&bull; Imams in Islamic s
 cholarship: intellectual requirements and the scope of action within religi
 ous scholarly authority<br />&bull; Muslim religious authority and their re
 presentative bodies in Western Europe<br />&bull; The Muslim community&#39;
 s authority over the Imam: the social stratum<br />&bull; The importation o
 f Imams and their geographical distribution in Western Europe<br />&bull; T
 he prospects of developing &quot;home-grown&quot; Imams: mosques, Islamic s
 chools, university departments of theology, and possible partnerships<br />
 &bull; Imams&#39; training and the job market<br />&bull; Imams, politics, 
 and the media<br />&bull; Imams and civic engagement: ethics, spirituality,
  environment, social justice, multiculturalism, etc.<br />&bull; Comparativ
 e perspectives: best practices of religious national institutions and Imam 
 training in Western Europe<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>-----------------
