The Impact

Discourse in France on the Islamic headscarf is omnipresent, even if its presence in schools is not. There are polarizing views in literature on whether Muslim women can truly integrate into French society if their religiosity and headscarf appears to go against the republic’s principles of equality, liberty, and fraternity. While this inquiry may be prevalent, there has been little interdisciplinary discussion on what invokes such negative reactions from the majority of the French population towards the Islamic headscarf. There has been even less discussion and reports on the impact of this reaction on Muslim women in France. This paper seeks to contribute to those apertures in scholarly literature. Using the French ban of 2004 as a case study, I explore how France’s colonial fabrication of the Islamic headscarf is pervasive and impacts the identity and livelihood of Muslim women in France. The term ‘hijab’ in this paper refers to Islamic headscarf Muslim women wear to meet religious requirements. I start by analyzing France’s colonial history with Algeria and its depiction of the hijab during that period. Then, I illustrate its importance in French understandings of the headscarf by highlighting parallels between arguments used for the ban on headscarves and France’s historical repackaging of the Muslim headdress. Concluding illustrations will reveal the harrowing impact of the hijab ban on the rights, identity, education and socioeconomic class of Muslim women in France.

It was found that the learners perceive the curriculum to be obsolete in addressing contemporary concerns and needs serious reframing. Research limitations/implications As the study uses the case study method, it has been limited to four universities of Madhya Pradesh state of India to analyse the cases effectively. Further, only the domain of social work has been explored in the study. Thus, the results may lack generalizability. Further studies can also be conducted to test the propositions suggested. Even similar studies can be carried out with other disciplines. Also, the study being cross-sectional leaves scope for future comparative and longitudinal studies. Practical implications The paper presents some interesting perceptions of the student community, which can be used for redesigning and revising the social work curriculum. Such appraisals if done by every educational institute can bring significant reforms in the present education system of India and make it at par with the global standards and responsive to the contemporary needs of the society. Further, with such training, social workers can be true change agents. Social implications The study can play a significant role in the redesigning of social work education in India.
