  • Iranian Women's Quest for Self-Liberation Through
    IRANIAN WOMEN’S QUEST FOR SELF-LIBERATION THROUGH THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA: AN EMANCIPATORY PEDAGOGY TANNAZ ZARGARIAN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN EDUCATION YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO December 2019 © [Tannaz Zargarian, 2019] i Abstract This dissertation examines the discourse of body autonomy among Iranian women. It approaches the discourse of body autonomy by deconstructing veiling, public mobility, and sexuality, while considering the impact of society, history, religion, and culture. Although there are many important scholarly works on Iranian women and human rights that explore women’s civil rights and freedom of individuality in relation to the hijab, family law, and sexuality, the absence of work on the discourse of body autonomy—the most fundamental human right—has created a deficiency in the field. My research examines the discourse of body autonomy in the context of liberation among Iranian women while also assessing the role of the internet as informal emancipatory educational tools. To explore the discourse of body autonomy, I draw upon critical and transnational feminist theory and the theoretical frameworks of Derayeh, Foucault, Shahidian, Bayat, Mauss, and Freire. Additionally, in-depth semi-structured interviews with Iranian women aged 26 to 42 in Iran support my analysis of the practice and understanding of body autonomy personally, on the internet, and social media. The results identify and explicate some of the major factors affecting the practice and awareness of body autonomy, particularly in relation to the goal of liberation for Iranian women.

  • Iranian Women in the Year 1400: the Struggle for Equal Rights Continues
    ISSUE BRIEF Iranian Women in the Year 1400: The Struggle for Equal Rights Continues APRIL 2021 MEHRANGIZ KAR AND AZADEH POURZAND You want to erase my being, but in this land I shall remain I will continue to dance as long as I sustain I speak as long as I’m living; fury, roar, and revolt your stones and rocks I fear not, I’m flood, my flow you can’t halt — Poet Simin Behbahani1 The story of Iranian women’s struggle for equality in many ways embodies the nation’s struggles as a whole. It is a tale of continuous bargaining with the state by citizens of diverse backgrounds. While Iranian women have made remarkable strides in various fields such as science, the arts, and business, they continue to face discriminatory laws, policies, and practices in their daily lives and beyond. The founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI), Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, sought to maintain a strictly controlled society using religious-populist lead- ership accompanied by repression. Yet no degree of state control has suc- ceeded in shutting down society’s aspirations for a better and freer life, and the women’s movement in Iran is a dramatic example of the state’s failure. This issue brief aims to present a clearer image of women’s struggles for equal- ity to help US policy makers better understand the intricacies of Iranian soci- ety and design policies that support—but do not supplant or undermine—the women’s movement. Understanding this struggle can help policy makers look beyond simplistic solutions that see disempowered Iranian women as requiring saving from the outside or that use women’s achievements as a justification to legitimize IRI rule.

  • Imes Alumni Newsletter
    IMES ALUMNI NEWSLETTER 2015 Winter 6, Issue From the Head of IMES By Anthony Gorman Welcome again to the latest IMES Alumni Newsletter! As usual, this winter issue provides details of the IMES MSc and PhD graduations last November, always an emotional occasion for the department as well as for the graduating students themselves. The last months have been busy in the department with many enjoyable academic and social occasions. The Watt event in October which marked the 50th anniversary of Montgomery Watt’s inaugural lecture as Professor of Islamic Studies at Edinburgh stands out as a particularly memorable occasion marked by an impressive evening of lectures and a symposium the following day. Other highlights were a short series of seminars on Shi’ism (part of the larger IMES Research seminar series) as well as the programme of the Alwaleed Centre. As usual we feature a number of contributions from current and former students as well as coverage of the social activities of the postgraduate student body. One particularly impressive feature is the translation - into English and Slovene - of the poetry of Ashraf Fayadh by our PhD student Jona Fras. The History of IMES column is also dedicated to the student presence in the department. Since I have recently stepped down as Head of IMES I will also be vacating the post of Editor of the Newsletter. My thanks to all that have contributed to its production over the last three years, Professor especially to a series of fine Assistant Editors, Emese Lorencsics, Fayaz Alibhai, Farshed Kazemi Carole and, for her very capable work on this issue, Hester Gartrell.
