About the project:
Narratives of Conversion to Islam: Male Perspectives brought together
forty-six male Muslim converts to discuss aspects of their conversions
to Islam and to reflect on their journeys
and experiences of
conversion. The product is a report to inform Muslims and non-Muslims
about the topic.

The project follows on from the huge success of the first report in
the series, Narratives of Conversion to Islam in Britain: Female
Perspectives (2013) and aims to go some way to fill the current gap in
accessible, high-quality research on issues around male converts and
conversion to Islam in the UK. The research will be available to the
public through a report that will be published and will be free to
download from the Centre of Islamic Studies' website on 3 February
2016. The report is accompanied with a DVD that contains interviews
with some of the brothers. The interviews will also be available on
the website.
