The field of Islam and Science has been growing steadily in the past few decades, with contributors pursuing various avenues of scholarly inquiry. These include the Islamisation of science, evolution, quantum mechanics, scientific miracles in the Qur’an, and socio-scientific dilemmas, among other topics.

Within education, much work has been done on how Muslim students and teachers understand and think about Islam and evolution, but very little academic attention has been given to any sort of unifying, theoretical framework for Islam, Science and Education.

Similarly, educator beliefs and practices operating at the intersection of these three domains remains an understudied area.

A number of important questions require further interrogation:

• How, for example, do educators working in Muslim contexts or with Muslim learners approach these issues?
• In what ways are teachers either incorporating Islam into Science classes, and/or addressing (perceived) tensions between the two in their teaching?

This conference brings together participants from a wide range of backgrounds to discuss the intersections of Islam, Science and Education, viewed from different disciplines.

The central question will be, pedagogically speaking, how might the form and character of Science Education and Islam be developed and/or reimagined in light of growing debates which position faith ‘against’ science?
