Manufactured in Jordan The Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW) was established as a national machinery to promote women’s status in Jordan in accordance with the cabinet’s decision no 21/11/3382 in 1992. Chaired by HRH Princess Basma bint Talal, the Commission’s board includes representation of rel- evant ministers, civil society organisations and the private sector. JNCW seeks to ensure that Jordan complies with its national, Arab and international commitments, which aim at improving women’s status and their participation in sustainable development. On September 21, 1996, the Jordanian cabinet designated JNCW as a national reference for all official entities and a representative of the Kingdom in all women-related issues and activities. The Commis- sion’s tasks and responsibilities were identified along the following key themes: Mainstreaming women’s issues and needs in national strategies, policies, legislation, plans and budgets. Monitoring discrimination against women and progress vis-à-vis equality and equal opportunities. Advocacy for women’s issues and raising awareness on their role and participation in national sustain- able development. Since 1993, JNCW leads the process of preparing National Strategy for Women. JNCW has adopted a participatory method to review and update the strategy. The current National Strategy for Women (2013 – 2017) was endorsed by the cabinet in 2013. The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) is a non-profit organisation committed to the values of social de- mocracy and is the oldest of Germany’s political foundations. Founded in 1925, it is the political legacy of Friedrich Ebert, Germany’s first democratically elected President. In Jordan, FES opened its office in 1986 and is accredited through a long-standing partnership with the Royal Scientific Society (RSS). Since 2004, the Amman Office also coordinates the activities of FES in Iraq. In addition, it has been hosting FES’ Regional Program on Energy and Climate Policy since 2014. The aims of the activities of FES Amman are to promote democracy and political participation, to sup- port progress towards social justice and gender equality as well as to contribute to ecological sustainabil- ity and peace and security in the region. FES Amman supports the building and strengthening of civil society and public institutions in Jordan and Iraq. FES Amman cooperates with a wide range of partner institutions from civil society and the political sphere to establish platforms for democratic dialogue, organise conferences, hold workshops and publish policy papers on current political questions.

    Copyright By Christopher Paul Holland 2010 The Thesis committee for Christopher Paul Holland Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Rethinking Qawwali: Perspectives of Sufism, Music, and Devotion in North India APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Supervisor: __________________________________ Syed Akbar Hyder ___________________________________ Gail Minault Rethinking Qawwali: Perspectives of Sufism, Music, and Devotion in North India by Christopher Paul Holland B.A. Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2010 Rethinking Qawwali: Perspectives of Sufism, Music, and Devotion in North India by Christopher Paul Holland, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Syed Akbar Hyder Scholarship has tended to focus exclusively on connections of Qawwali, a north Indian devotional practice and musical genre, to religious practice. A focus on the religious degree of the occasion inadequately represents the participant’s active experience and has hindered the discussion of Qawwali in modern practice. Through the examples of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s music and an insightful BBC radio article on gender inequality this thesis explores the fluid musical exchanges of information with other styles of Qawwali performances, and the unchanging nature of an oral tradition that maintains sociopolitical hierarchies and gender relations in Sufi shrine culture. Perceptions of history within shrine culture blend together with social and theological developments, long-standing interactions with society outside of the shrine environment, and an exclusion of the female body in rituals.

  • Introduction the Shi‘A in South Asia
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-10890-5 - The Shi‘a in Modern South Asia: Religion, History and Politics Edited by Justin Jones and Ali Usman Qasmi Excerpt More information Introduction The Shi‘a in South Asia Francis Robinson The Shi‘i communities of South Asia, roughly 60 million people, represent, after those of Iran, the second largest grouping of Shi‘as in the Muslim world. Until recently our knowledge of them has not matched their numbers. Indeed, they, and here I refer to the Twelver Shi‘as rather than the Isma‘ilis, have suffered from the paradox of being both highly visible but in scholarly terms largely invisible. Where the Shi‘a live in South Asian towns and cities, arguably, no community has been more visible or more audible: visible because of their great processions at Muharram; and audible, certainly at Muharram, but also throughout the year in their majalis, as they recount the events of Karbala, often transmitting them by loudspeaker to the muhalla. Up to the 1980s these significant religious communities had attracted just two major works of scholarship: Hollister’s, The Shi‘a of India (1936) and Engineer’s The Bohras (1980).1 This dearth of scholarship began to change in the mid-1980s. First there was S. A. A. Rizvi’s major two-volume survey of India’s Twelver Shi‘as (1986), followed by Juan Cole’s path-breaking study of the establishment of the Shi‘i state of Awadh from the eighteenth century (1988).2 From the 1990s attention turned to Shi‘i commemorative practice with Vernon Schubel’s study of Shi‘i devotional rituals (1993), David Pinault’s studies of ritual and popular piety (1992) and devotional life 1 John Norman Hollister, The Shi‘a of India, (London, 1953); Asghar Ali Engineer, The Bohras (New Delhi, 1980).

  • Educational Communities, Arts-Based Inquiry, & Role-Playing: an American
    Educational Communities, Arts-Based Inquiry, & Role-Playing: An American Freeform Exploration with Professional & Pre-Service Art Educators DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jason Cox Graduate Program in Arts Administration, Education, and Policy The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Christine Ballengee-Morris, Advisor, Ph.D., Clayton Funk, Ed.D., Karen Hutzel, Ph.D., Jennifer Richardson, Ph.D., Sydney Walker, Ph.D. Copyright by Jason Cox 2015 Abstract This research employs American freeform role-playing games as a media for participatory arts-based inquiry into the relationships and perspectives of professional and pre-service art educators. The role-played performances and participatory discourse re- imagine relationships within a collaboratively imagined educational community that parallel ones from the professional lives of art educators, such as those between school administrators, staff, teachers, students, and parents. Participants use the roles, relationships, and settings they construct to explore themes and situations that they identify as being present in educational communities. These situations represent points of intersection between members of an educational community, such as parent-teacher conferences, community advocacy meetings, or school field trips. The data from each experience takes the form of personal reflections, participant-created artifacts, and communal discourse. By assuming various roles and reflecting upon them, participants gain access to experiences and points of view that provoke reflection, develop leadership capabilities, and enhance their capacity for affecting change within an educational setting. ii Dedication To my wife Alissa and to all of our family & friends for making this journey possible.
