Ibtihal’s current postdoctoral research examines the experiences of Muslim academics working in AHSS disciplines at UK universities on producing knowledge that attempts to critically challenge the discourse that continues to problematise the Muslim presence in the West and beyond, in alignment with Decolonising the Curriculum Movement. Her theoretical lenses include Critical Race Theory, postcolonial and decolonial thought, racism and Islamophobia.
