On this episode of Behind the Pages, we speak with Hannah Hoechner and Sadisu Idris Salisu about how the Nigerian state rationalized forced closures of Qur'anic schools and student deportations by casting Qur'anic education as both a security threat and a public health concern.  Hannah Hoechner and Sadisu Idris Salisu are the authors of the research article, "Scapegoating the Usual Suspects? Pandemic Control and the Securitization of Qur'anic Education in Northern Nigeria," which was published in JEiE Vol. 8, No. 3 – Special Issue on Education in Pandemics (December 2022).  Behind the Pages is the podcast of the Journal on Education in Emergencies (JEiE).
