  • Dr. Mike Diboll: Reflections on My Practice in Bahrain
    Reflexive Education, Revolution, and Counter-Revolution: Reflections on my experiences in Bahrain Dr Mike Diboll This reflection arises out of my experience working in education reform in Bahrain during the politically fraught years between 2007 and 2011, and is informed by the concept of ‘reflective practice’ pioneered during the 1970s by MIT educationalist Donald A. Schön, and described in his influential 1983 book The Reflective Practitioner: How Professionals Think in Action. Since Schön, Education development can been seen as partaking in a new, ‘reflexive’, or ‘second’ modernity, towards which the post-colonial polities of the Arab world are transitioning. Thus, the tensions between the ‘classic institutions’ of the region’s ‘first’ modernity,1 post-colonial states and the expectations of the younger generations whose subjectivities have in part been shaped by ‘reflexive modernity’ change-drivers, ‘super-modernizing forces’, forms part context of the current political contestations on-going in the Arab world since 2011. Similarly, education partakes in the co-construction and mediation of new identities and new forms of political consciousness in ways that were not predicted by the ruling regimes. This leads to the displacement of the post-colonial state’s ‘determinate rules’ as increasingly autonomous citizens assuming the role of ‘rule-seekers’ exercising ‘reflective judgement.’2 I had worked in higher education in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region since 2002. My first degree had been in Arabic, and prior to my work in the GCC, I had worked in Cairo, and travelled extensively in the region. I worked at the College of Arts, University of Bahrain (UoB), 2007-8, and was involved in the start-up of Bahrain Teachers’ College (BTC).

  • Bahrain 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    BAHRAIN 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution declares Islam to be the official religion and sharia to be a principal source for legislation. It provides for freedom of conscience, the inviolability of places of worship, and freedom to perform religious rites. The constitution guarantees the right to express and publish opinions, provided these do not infringe on the “fundamental beliefs of Islamic doctrine.” The law prohibits anti-Islamic publications and mandates imprisonment for “exposing the state’s official religion to offense and criticism.” The government continued to question, detain, and arrest Shia clerics and community members. Authorities detained a number of clerics over the content of their sermons during the commemoration of Ashura in September; all were subsequently released without charge. In January authorities released Majeed al-Meshaal, the head of the Shia Scholar’s Council, who was sentenced in 2016 to two and a half years in prison. On June 9, the Ministry of the Interior (MOI) banned al-Meshaal from delivering Friday sermons on the grounds that he was inciting hatred. In March the criminal court sentenced 167 individuals to prison terms ranging from six months to 10 years for their participation in the 2016 Diraz sit-in held by supporters of Isa Qassim, identified by media as the country’s leading Shia cleric. On July 30, authorities placed Shia cleric Sheikh Isaal al-Qaffas in solitary confinement in Jaw Prison for protesting the execution of two Shia. On August 30, Jaw Prison authorities banned inmates from gathering in large groups to commemorate Ashura in the corridors.
