Pedagogy of Hizmet in Germany -- Non-Formal Educational Practices and Biographical Views of Its Participants
Geier, Thomas; Frank, Magnus; Bittner, Josepha; Keskinkiliç, Saadet
Ethnography and Education, v14 n4 p395-412 2019
The "Gülen Movement," a global network and religious community revolving the Turkish Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen, has become a topic of political discourses in worldwide media since the coup attempt in Turkey in 2016. Earlier, it was particularly known for its worldwide education activities. The article discusses first results of a reconstructive analysis of practices and biographies in a context of a weekly religious sohbet (conversation circle) for male university students within the DFG-financed project "Pedagogy of the 'Gülen Movement'" (2016-2019). The Islamic culture of education inside the sohbet can be understood in the context of ongoing educational inequalities of Turkish-Muslim students in the German migration-society. Against this background, in Germany, "Gülen Movement's" idea of education "hizmet" comes along with certain religious practices and subjectifications, which aim to enable young Turkish Muslims taking a recognised standing in society.
