The Sarah Lawrence College Women's History Graduate Program is proud to present the 11th Annual Women's History Conference, entitled "Gender and Power in the Muslim World." The conference will take place Friday & Saturday, March 6 & 7, 2009, on the campus of Sarah Lawrence College (15 minutes north of Manhattan). It is free and open to the public.
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.
