This change has been accompanied by the rise of new fields, studying, for example, Islam in Europe and Africa, and new topics, such as the role of gender. This collection surveys these transformations and others, taking stock of the field and showing new paths forward UR - https://openresearchlibrary.org/content/6a6b7ca5-7ef7-4d64-9897-4ab6ae16860b ER -
