Editor's Preview: Communicating Islam, Gender and Sustainability in a Mediated World

Abstract

This thematic issue explores how Islam, gender, and sustainability intersect through communication across cultural, religious, and social contexts. It invites scholarly work that examines how Islamic values inform gender roles and environmental ethics, and how these are communicated in media, education, policy, and public discourse. The issue aims to highlight faith-based narratives that support sustainability and gender equity, while also critiquing representations that reinforce inequality or environmental neglect. By bringing together diverse disciplines, this issue seeks to advance inclusive, ethical, and context-sensitive understandings of sustainable development rooted in Islamic thought and responsive to gendered experiences in contemporary society.
