Teacher fellows

Zameer Hussain

I am a Religious Education teacher secondary school in Essex, and I have been Head of Department since 2014. I also serve on the National Association of Teachers of Religious Education (NATRE) Executive Committee. I have represented RE teachers, and Shi’a Muslims, in different contexts including at seminars for grant making trusts, in the House of Lords and at various international venues. In 2015, I won the Jack Petchey Foundation Leaders award for my teaching. I am passionate about teaching RE and for good interfaith relations and I was delighted that our department was awarded an RE Quality Mark (Gold) in 2018. My aim is to give teachers more expertise and confidence in teaching about different faiths and beliefs. I specialize in Shi’a Islam and have contributed to several books, including one on Shi’a Islam for teachers. I also worked with Parallel Histories to create the programme on the history of Sunni and Shi’a.
