The workshop ‘Home, mobility and translocality: Muslim identities between the post-Soviet space, Europe and Turkey’ was held on 24-25 October 2019 at the School of Sociology

The workshop was organised by the School of Sociology and the Institute for Social Policy, HSE University, with support from the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Russia, the German Embassy in Moscow and the French-Russian Research Center for Social Sciences in Moscow.

The workshop aimed to bring together post-Soviet, European and Turkish Muslim experiences of home, mobility and translocality to explore commonalities and differences between these regions through the lens of space and belonging. By drawing comparisons, the workshop also interrogated current theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of Muslim identities.

The workshop participants took part in a guided excursion to the Moscow Cathedral Mosque and an evening of lectures “Urban Muslim Space. An Anthropological View” was also organised at the educational center of the Garage Museum.
