Abstract
In this paper, the authors unpack ‘social remittances’ in the context of religiously motivated transnational Islamic charity, focusing on education and gender equality. They approach social transformation by seeing migration as enmeshed in social change, with both intended and unintended outcomes. Their study adopts a multi-sited approach, tracing circulation between Lahore, London and Oslo as key sites in this transnational social field, drawing on semi-structured interviews, observation and informal interaction with actors engaged in Islamic charity. The authors find that negotiations over the meaning of ideas across transnational social fields in their case foregrounds a transcendental layer, and underscores the need for critical attention to the implications of a ‘diaspora bias’ in analyses of social remittances exchanges.
