Deniz Batum
(Radboud University)

Paper long abstract:
This article looks at gender practices at an Islamic student dorm in the Netherlands, for Turkish female students. Following Scott's theory of reinventive institutions, we argue the dorm is a reinventive social institution: reinventing and claiming the identities of its members, with the promise of Islamic self-development and ethical fulfillment. Gender practices become all the more stringent when people are held accountable by an institution.
