SUMMARY:Muslim Women and the "Right to Choose Freely" - Lila Abu-Lughod
DESCRIPTION:RSVP using eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/muslim-women-and-the-right-to-choose-freely-with-lila-abu-lughod-tickets-37412443626 \nWhat can we learn from public debates about Muslim women that hinge on a right—the “right to choose freely”—that has been enshrined in international feminist conventions and that animates the popular American and European imagination about such practices as veiling and arranged marriage? As an anthropologist\, Professor Abu-Lughod will look to the everyday lives of young women in one Egyptian village to teach us a different way to think about choice and also to expose the politics of common fantasies about this “right.” \nLila Abu-Lughod is the Joseph L. Buttenwieser Professor of Social Science at Columbia University\, where she teaches anthropology and women’s studies. A leading voice in the debates about culture\, gender\, Islam\, and global feminist politics\, her books and articles have been translated into 14 languages. Her scholarship\, mostly ethnographic and based on long term fieldwork in Egypt\, has focused on the relationship between cultural forms and power; the politics of knowledge and representation; and the question of human and women’s rights in the Middle East and globally. \nHer award-winning books include Veiled Sentiments: Honor and Poetry in a Bedouin Society (whose 30th anniversary edition with a new Afterword was published in September 2016); Writing Women’s Worlds: Bedouin Stories (1993); and Dramas of Nationhood: The Politics of Television in Egypt (2005). Her most recent book\, Do Muslim Women Need Saving? was published by Harvard University Press in 2013. \nA founding member of the Center for Palestine Studies at Columbia University\, she has also published on memory and violence\, having co-edited a book called Nakba: Palestine\, 1948\, and the Claims of Memory (2007). She has just begun work this year on a collaborative project funded by the Henry Luce Foundation on Religion and the Global Framing of Gender Violence.
