Secular spirituality and communal harmony: Bhakti and Sufi traditions in Bihar and Kashmir
(University of Kashmir, 2024) Kumar, Rajeev
This paper explores how the Bhakti and Sufi mysticism movements have historically cultivated secular spirituality, providing a shared spiritual framework that transcended or expanded religious boundaries to foster communal harmony and continues to do so between Hindus and Muslims in contemporary South Asia. By emphasizing personal devotion, ethical behaviour, and social inclusivity, these traditions challenged religious orthodoxy and social hierarchies. Through a detailed examination of their historical contexts and contemporary fieldwork in Bihar and Kashmir, this study demonstrates how the teachings and practices of Bhakti and Sufi mystics remain essential for promoting interfaith dialogue and communal harmony. By situating these traditions within broader academic debates on secular spirituality, the paper underscores their ongoing relevance in addressing modern challenges of religious polarization and social cohesion.
Designing an AI governance framework for generative AI in higher education: Integrating large language models, academic integrity, employability, and national AI policies
(Nexora Academic Press, 2026) Shahid, Choudhry; Tasavvar, Nishwa; Khan, Atif; Ahmad, Sajjad; Bayram, Mustafa; Almomani, Omar; Ahmad, Sohail
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), particularly large language models (LLMs), is transforming higher education, impacting the way teachers teach, students learn, are evaluated, research is carried out and graduates are prepared. As it gains traction, however, it has raised complex challenges in terms of academic integrity, responsible use of AI, privacy, institutional accountability, employability and national priorities. This study proposed an AI governance framework for the use of generative AI in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Pakistan and validated it. A design of a mixed methods framework-development and expert-validation was used. The study included a systematic review of literature, a comparative analysis of national and international AI policy, content-validity assessment, and a two-round Delphi consultation with 30 experts from the field of higher education administration, AI policy, educational technology, academic integrity, and industry. Content Validity Ratio, Item-Level ContentValidity Index, Scale-Level Content Validity Index, Delphi median and interquartile range, Kendall's coefficient of concordance, Friedman test and reliability analysis were used to validate the proposed governance dimensions. Qualitative interviews and Delphi responses were thematically analyzedto give insights into the quantitative results. The research results revealed five interconnected dimensions: Responsible integration of LLM, Academic integrity and assessment governance, AI literacy and graduate employability, Ethical governance and institutional governance, and Alignment with national AI policy. The study suggests a multi-layered governance system that places a strong focus on responsible innovation, human supervision, academic accountability, graduate readiness, institutional accountability, and ongoing policy adaptation in the Pakistani higher education system.
[Book Review]: "Deconstructing Refugee Women’s Empowerment: A Comparative Approach to British and French Aid Structures"
(Oxford University Press, 2026) Ergin, Ayşenur
In Deconstructing Refugee Women’s Empowerment, Kılıçoğlu criticizes the victim-agent dichotomy and examines the empowerment of refugee women through a comparative perspective of aid structures in the UK and France. Drawing on Mohanty’s critique of Western feminism’s homogenization of Third World women and Spivak’s argument on the subaltern’s silencing, she shows how colonial hierarchies shape aid structures in Europe. The book’s central argument is that empowerment is not a universal or neutral concept. It is a politically constructed process embedded in colonial histories and national citizenship models that determine both the definition of empowerment itself and which refugee women ‘deserve’ to be empowered...
Rhythms of resistance in Palestine: Political socialization, ideology and cultural performativity within Hamas anthems
(Muhammed Mustafa Kulu, 2026) Bajes, Dalal; Özdemir, Ahmet Yusuf; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü
This study examines the role of political anthems (nasheeds) in the processes of political socialization, identity formation, and cultural resistance within Palestinian Islamic movements, with a particular focus on Hamas. Drawing on a dataset of one hundred anthems produced and circulated between 1980 and 2012, the article investigates how these songs function as vehicles for transmitting ideology, cultivating collective identities, and mobilizing political action across generations of supporters. The study asks three central questions: How do anthems contribute to political socialization within Islamic movements in Palestine? What ideological and emotional themes do they communicate? And how do they reflect the historical evolution of Hamas’s political narratives and modes of resistance? Methodologically, the research employs qualitative content analysis, combining thematic coding with close textual reading of lyrics. Twenty-two thematic categories were identified and analyzed, while supplementary interviews with poets and performers provided contextual insights into the production and circulation of nasheeds. The analysis is informed by Judith Butler’s concept of performativity and reiteration, as well as Gayatri Spivak’s reflections on representation and political voice. The findings demonstrate that Hamas-affiliated anthems function not merely as cultural expressions but as performative spaces in which political subjectivities are produced and reproduced. Recurring themes include Islamic collective identity, attachment to land and Jerusalem, exile and return, martyrdom, imprisonment, resistance, and political participation. Through repeated discursive and emotional patterns, the songs cultivate a resistant subjectivity that links faith, sacrifice, and national liberation. At the same time, they serve as mechanisms through which collective memory, ideological commitments, and emotional attachments are transmitted across generations. The article argues that political anthems should be understood not only as reflections of resistance but also as active instruments in the construction of collective identities and the performative reproduction of political struggle under conditions of occupation and settler colonialism.
Reiding Hume: Hume, Reid, and reformed epistemology
(Cambridge University Press, 2026) Clark, Kelly James; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Felsefe Bölümü
David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion were published posthumously in 1779 and are considered one of the most important contributions to the philosophy of religion. Throughout Hume's philosophical career his views on religion were highly controversial and many of his own contemporaries regarded his philosophy as a defence of atheism and irreligion. The Dialogues is Hume's final and his most definitive statement of his views on this subject. In this Critical Guide, leading scholars engage with topics including the argument from intelligent design, the cosmological argument, the problem of evil, religion and morality, miracles, suicide and immortality, and the natural origins and roots of religious belief. The volume updates and expands our critical understanding of this major philosophical work, and will be of interest to a range of readers in philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas.
