Class Description:
This course explores the experiences of Muslim women and Muslim families from a historical and comparative perspective. It aims to expand the discussion on Muslim women's lives and experiences beyond the Middle East to highlight the complex and diverse everyday experiences of women around the world. This wider lens exposes the limitations intrinsic in the stereotypical Western representation of Muslims in general and Muslim women in particular. We will explore the intricate web of gender and family power relations, and how these are contested and negotiated in these societies. Some of the themes the course explores include the debates on Muslim women and colonial representations, sexual politics, family, education and health, women and paid work, gender and human rights, and Islamic feminism debates.
