Sadek Hamid is currently a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Liverpool Hope University. He has written widely about Islam in Britain, young Muslims and Islamic activism. He is author of Sufis, Salafis and Islamists:The Contested Ground of British Islamic Activism (2016) and co-editor of Youth Work and Islam: a Leap of Faith for Young People (2011).

Focusing on aspects of being young, Muslim and British, this book takes a multidisciplinary approach that seeks to 'normalise' the subjects and focus on their everyday lived realities.
