Great Conversations: Behind the Veil: Women in Muslim-Arab Cultures
Dr. Manal Hamzeh, Assistant Professor of Women's Studies
Widely prevalent mainstream media images of a Muslim woman--whether partially covered with the hjiab or completely with the burqa--might make
you think of submission, oppression, sexism and so on. Both the Orientalists and Islamic fundamentalist have historically used such stereotypical images
of Muslim women as a tool of domination and victimization. With the work of contemporary arab-muslim feminists, how is it possible to see beyond
"veils?" Don¹t miss an insightful and refreshing conversation with Dr.Hamzeh about arab-muslim women countering sexism in their lives and acting
as agents of individual and global change.
