Professor Samina Yasmeen and Dr Minako Sakai of The University of New South Wales, Canberra, have guest edited a special issue of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations . The special issue, entitled Narratives of Muslim Womanhood and Women’s Agency , closely examines women’s agency in negotiating their role in Muslim-majority societies and in a new place of settlement (Australia).

The special issue was based on a workshop entitled ‘Narratives of Muslim Womanhood: Contemporary Analysis’, held in December 2013. The workshop was part of on-going research collaborations on the issue of Muslim womanhood between Dr Minako Sakai, the chair the Asia Pacific Seminar Series at School of Humanities and Social Sciences, at the University of New South Wales, Canberra, and Professor Samina Yasmeen, the Director the Centre for Muslim Societies and States at the University of Western Australia.
