| HIST 288 - WOMEN IN MIDDLE EASTERN SOCIETIES |
|
The aim of this course is to promote an understanding of Muslim and non-Muslim women's experiences in the Middle East and Nonh Africa, as well as outside of the region. The course will examine Muslim women's past and present as involved agents in the creation and interpretation oflslamic culture, society, and religion,
to dispel the stereotype that they have been the powerless victims in these developmental processes. To this end, alternative discourses will be explored, each focusing on the women and events that shaped them at different times in selected countries. We will look at how these discourses have changed with the advent of modernity, secularism, nationalism, trans-nationalism and globalization. We shall also examine the shifting rhetorical strategies women employ in their articulations of different forms of feminisms and lslamisms, interrogating how boundaries between the two are erected and dismantled.
