Accepted Paper:
Age matters: Life-long religious learning among Muslim:as in Benin
Anna Madeleine Ayeh
(University of Bayreuth)
Paper short abstract:
The understanding of Islamic learning as a non-gendered, life-long endeavour only implicitly refers to age. Yet in everyday practice of Muslim*as in Benin, age, intersecting with gender, matters regarding how girls and women can claim to know.
Paper long abstract:
The understanding of Islamic learning as a non-gendered, life-long endeavour only implicitly refers to age. Yet in everyday practice of Muslim*as in Benin, age, intersecting with gender, matters regarding how girls and women can claim to know. Using empirical examples from various settings of religious learning across Muslim Benin, I argue to apply a relational (and intersectional) perspective in order to analyse the situatedness and age-contingency of religious knowing.
