Iranian feminist scholar Shahrzad Mojab will lecture on the topic of "Demystifying Iranian Women's Movements" on Monday, Nov. 17, at 4 p.m. in the Fillius Events Barn. The lecture will focus on the women's movement in Iran against the patriarchal Islamic theocracy. Women in Iran wish to, after 30 years of Islamic theocracy, demystify their classification as Muslim women and challenge their political identity as Islamic feminists. The event is free and open to the public.
Shahrzad Mojab is a professor in the Department of Adult Education and Counseling Psychology at the University of Toronto, and until recently was the director of the Women and Gender Studies Institute. She is editor of Women of a Non-State Nation: The Kurds and co-editor of Of Property and Propriety: The Role of Gender and Class in Imperialism and Nationalism and Violence in the Name of Honor. A discussion and refreshments will immediately follow the lecture.
The lecture is co-sponsored by the Kirkland Endowment, Dean of Faculty, Womyn's Center, the Jane Watson Irwin Fund and Women's Studies.
