- In this new course, students will explore the ways in which the social, political, and cultural construction of sexual difference influences the nature and practice of political life in the Middle East. The course will examine both theoretically and empirically the ways in which power is gendered and how gender has served as a basis for political organization, the distribution of power, and the boundaries of public life.
The course will introduce students to some of the current debates on women in the region. Many themes will be examined to understand the political and economic context of struggles around gender issues; mobilization of women’s movements; the interaction of religion, law, and their interpretation; the gendered nature of the state; the path dependence and institutional nature of women’s movements and struggles; the gendered aspects of revolution, Westernization, secularism, globalization, and socialism in the Middle East.
This seminar will be held in English. For non-native speakers, as the instructor herself, this is a great opportunity to practice WITHOUT fear what today's internationalized job market will require. No one expects from you to speak and write like the British Royal Family, so make use of this opportunity.
