    Religion, Identity and Citizenship The Predicament of Shia Fundamentalism in Bahrain Abdullah A. Yateem In 2011, Bahrain witnessed an unprecedented wave of political protests that came within a chain of protest movements in other Arab coun- tries, which later came to be known as the “Arab Spring.” Irrespective of the difference in the appellations given to these protests, their oc- currence in Bahrain in particular poses a number of questions, some of which touch upon the social and political roots of this movement, especially that they started in Bahrain, a Gulf state that has witnessed numerous political reformation movements and democratic transfor- mations that have enhanced the country’s social and cultural openness in public and political life. Despite this pro-democratic environment, the political movement rooted in Shi’a origins persisted in developing various forms of political extremism and violence, raising concerns among Sunni and other communities. This work evaluates the origins of Shi’a extremism in Bahrain. Keywords: Middle East, Bahrain, Shi’a fundamentalism, Islam, Arab Spring, violence, Iran In the course of the year 2011, Bahrain witnessed an unprecedented wave of political protests,1 and that came within a chain of protest movements in other Arab countries, which later came to be known as the “Arab Spring”.

  • Media Implications in Bahrain's Textbooks in Light of UNESCO's
    Journal of Social Studies Education Research Sosyal Bilgiler Eğitimi Araştırmaları Dergisi 2017:8 (3), 259-281 www.jsser.org Media Implications in Bahrain’s Textbooks in Light of UNESCO's Media Literacy Principles Fawaz Alshorooqi1 & Saleh Moh'd Rawadieh2 Abstract This study aims to identify the media implications of textbooks in the Kingdom of Bahrain in light of the principles of media literacy emanating from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The study is based on the textbooks of Arabic Language and Education for Citizenship for the sixth primary, third intermediate and third secondary schools in the Kingdom of Bahrain for the academic year 2015/2016. The two researchers chose the descriptive and analytical approach to identify the media implications included in the selected textbooks. While conducting their study, the two researchers analyzed the implications of these textbooks based on the principles of media literacy stemming from UNESCO and its three fields, namely: knowledge and understanding of the media implications, assessment of media implications, and creation and use of media implications. The study revealed that these textbooks contained 168 media implications, with many of them concentrated in the field of knowledge and understanding of media implications. Assessment of media implications, and its creation and use came second and third, respectively. In fact, the study particularly revealed that the implications relating to the knowledge of the role of the media in democratic societies and the content of assessing the development of media implications are the most prevalent in the various analyzed school textbooks. This significant finding is highly important from a curricular perspective.

  • 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).

And to my mother, for being my guardian angel. My father, for his support. My partner, for his patience and relentless love. i A BRIEF HISTORY OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST BAHARNA IN BAHRAIN Abstract The Baharna people, at the hands of Al Khalifa, have had their lands taken, their title as to Bahrain erased, and their jobs limited. This paper explores the hidden history of the slavery (sukhra) of the Baharna, the discriminatory taxes enforced against them, and how security apparatus then and now monitor and never hesitate to use physical force to enforce the law. The women’s movement is also crucial to the understanding of the status of the Baharna, as Bahraini women are also lower-class citizens, especially in terms of inheritance, divorce and marriage laws and practices. ii A BRIEF HISTORY OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST BAHARNA IN BAHRAIN Table of Content Introduction p.1 Significance of the Research p.1 Overview of the Paper p.1 Framework

  • Engineering Education in Bahrain
    Session No 3460, Wednesday, June 23, 2004 Engineering Education in Bahrain Hisham Shihaby Bahrain Society of Engineers Role of Bahrain Society of Engineers in Continuing Education ABSTRACT One of the main objectives of the Bahrain Society of Engineers is to serve engineers, the profession and the community at large. The society started offering its members financial assistance to attend conferences outside Bahrain and went further to partly- finance members applying for graduate studies. More recently, The society has established a training centre offering a variety of courses not only to its members but also to the engineering community throughout the gulf region. This paper will outline the contribution of the Society to continuing engineering education. Background Formal primary education was launched in 1919 through the initiative of a group of enlightened Bahrainis who formed what was then known as the National Committee for Education. Prior to that there were a few private schools with a small student intake & traditional Quoran Learning Centres which offered a limited number of places for both male & female attendees. To start with formal primary education was limited to male students, females had to wait until 1928 when the first all females primary school was inaugurated. By 1930, the duties and responsibilities of the National Committee for Education were taken over by the government of Bahrain. The first batch of the primary school graduates, six male students, were sent to Beirut –Lebanon- to continue their education. Secondary education for males was started in 1940 & for females in 1951. The government, recognizing the need for trained technicians, established the first technical school in 1937.
