Gender and Power in the Muslim World
Free and Open to the Public
Bronxville, NY
Campus of Sarah Lawrence College
(15 minutes north of Manhattan)
Western discourse on Muslims overflows with images of dangerous men and downtrodden women locked into monolithic traditions sharply at odds with life in the “modern” and “tolerant” West. We aim to dismantle such stereotypes by analyzing their construction, assessing their political valence, and exploring the realities they obscure. Within this context we especially seek to challenge essentialist understandings of masculinity, femininity, and Muslim communities, societies and cultures.
Keynote Speaker: Mona Eltahawy
Award-Winning Syndicated Columnist and International Public Speaker
