Ymchwil
Deall Imams Prydain (Prif Ymchwilydd)
Imams yw'r grŵp mwyaf o weithwyr proffesiynol crefyddol Mwslimaidd ym Mhrydain sy'n gweithio'n bennaf o fewn mosgiau yn arwain gweddïau, traddodi pregethau a darparu arweiniad i'w cynulleidfaoedd. Fodd bynnag, mae tystiolaeth gynyddol i awgrymu bod y rôl hon yn cael ei ehangu i gynnwys gofal bugeiliol, caplaniaeth, a phrosiectau cymunedol ehangach fel gweithgareddau rhyng-ffydd neu ddigwyddiadau dinesig. Ymhellach, mae pwysau hinsawdd gymdeithasol-wleidyddol ôl-9/11 a 7/7, lle mae mesurau gwrthderfysgaeth yn cael eu cyfuno fwyfwy â materion integreiddio, wedi blaenoriaethu'r imam fel ffigwr a allai arwain ei ddiadell mewn ffyrdd adeiladol neu ddinistriol. Eto, braidd yn baradocsaidd, anaml y mae'r imam Prydeinig wedi bod yn destun ymchwil gymdeithasol fanwl. Wedi'i ariannu'n hael gan Sefydliad Addysgol Jameel, nod y prosiect hwn yw llenwi'r bwlch hwn trwy gynnal yr astudiaeth fwyaf cynhwysfawr o imamiaid Prydain hyd yn hyn; a chyfathrebu'r canlyniadau, a'r diddordeb mewn arweinyddiaeth grefyddol Fwslimaidd yn y Gorllewin yn fwy cyffredinol, i lawer o fuddiolwyr. Bydd y prosiect yn trawsnewid ein dealltwriaeth o imamau Prydain ac yn creu pwynt cyfeirio parhaol ar gyfer ymchwil yn y dyfodol ar weithwyr proffesiynol crefyddol Mwslimaidd.

Gwyddoniaeth ac Arweinyddiaeth Grefyddol Fwslimaidd Prydain (Cyd-ymchwilydd)
Beth mae gwyddoniaeth yn ei olygu i ysgolheigion crefyddol Mwslimaidd Prydain? Sut mae'n cael ei ddeall, ei ddadlau a'i addysgu mewn sefydliadau Islamaidd Prydain? Beth mae agweddau tuag at wyddoniaeth yn ei ddweud wrthym am y berthynas rhwng Islam a moderniaeth? Er ei bod yn gyffredin clywed honiadau yn y cyfryngau am Islam a Mwslimiaid yn 'wrth-wyddoniaeth', nid oes bron unrhyw ymchwil wedi'i gynnal ar yr hyn y mae arweinwyr crefyddol Mwslimaidd yn ei feddwl am bynciau gwyddonol. Bydd y prosiect cydweithredol hwn ym Mhrifysgol Birmingham yn llenwi'r bwlch hwn trwy archwilio barn arweinwyr Mwslimaidd (yr 'ulama) am wyddoniaeth, a sut maent yn ymgysylltu â materion gwyddonol yn eu rolau o ddydd i ddydd.
