Riaz Hassan AM, FASSA is an Australian Research Council Professorial Fellow and Emeritus Professor in the Department of Sociology, Flinders University. In his academic career spanning over 40 years he has conducted research in a number of areas including sociology of housing, sociology of suicide, organizational culture and Muslim societies. He has taught at Flinders University, National University of Singapore, Gadjah Mada University, University of California Los Angeles and Yale University. In 2001 he completed a 10-year multi-country study of Muslim religiosity in which he explored key aspects of Islamic consciousness. In his findings from this study Hassan argues that the genesis of modern Islamism is located in the historical, social, political and material conditions of Muslim countries and the imperialistic policies of Western nations. The outcomes from his investigations have been published in, (Faithlines: Muslim Conceptions of Islam and Society ) (Oxford University Press, 2002), and (Inside Muslim Minds: Understanding Islamic Consciousness ) (Melbourne University Press, 2008). His other recent books are; Life as a Weapon: The Global Rise of Suicide Bombings (Routledge 2010) and Suicide Bombings (Routledge 2011) In 2006 Hassan was awarded one of Australia's largest research grants by the Australian Research Council to investigate 'Suicide Terrorism: The Use of Life as Weapon' which includes compiling data on suicide attacks, and exploring the ideology and motivations of terrorist organizations using suicide missions as a strategy. The grant project aims to advance knowledge relevant to protecting Australia from threats of terrorism and providing information which may contribute to the development of appropriate responses to terrorism.〔STEWART, Cameron & EDWARDS, Verity (The Australian ).〕 His work in this area fell under the international spotlight when, in the aftermath of 9-11 hysteria, Australian anti-terror laws were established which prohibits anybody, including researchers and scholars, from conducting interviews or having any contact with terrorist groups.〔BONNER, Raymond (The New York Times ).〕 He was made a Member of the Order of Australia on 12 June 2006 for "service to sociology, particularly as an educator, author and researcher, and as a contributor to the understanding of housing needs of disadvantaged individuals and communities."〔Australian Honours (2006). (HASSAN, Riaz ).〕 ==Faithlines== In 2002 he published a survey of Muslims in Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan, in which he found that those states with Islamic governments ironically end up with little trust in religious leaders, writing "You can have power or trust, but not both", and concluding that it is best to keep faithlines separate from "the faultlines of the political terrain".〔(The Australian 05/01/2002 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Riaz Hassan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
