This figure does not only mean a lot of experience in Model United Nations, but it stands for 12 successful projects as well as many contacts and networks. Since 1995, the delegations from Freie Universität Berlin have represented various countries – Lithuania, the Syrian Arab Republic, Norway, South Africa, Bangladesh, Turkey, Argentina, Poland, Guatemala, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco – and one Non-governmental Organization, the International Council on Social Welfare. The participating students have become experts on their positions, oftentimes, they felt as real diplomats, representing “their” country or organization as realistic as possible. Besides, Freie Universität Berlin has established contacts to several embassies in Berlin as well as to the German Foreign Office, facilitating the organization of further events in Berlin. The lecture of the Guatemalan Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Luis Fernando Andrade Falla, on “Democracy and the Rule of Law in Guatemala” on 27 April 2007 is only one example for those ongoing cooperations.

  • Sailing for Safe Abortion Access: the Emergence of a Conscious Social Nonmovement in Morocco
    Sailing for Safe Abortion Access: The Emergence of a Conscious Social Nonmovement in Morocco By Julia Ellis-Kahana In partial fulfillment for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Sociology Brown University April 2013 Julia Ellis-Kahana ________________________________ Advisor Carrie Spearin ________________________________ First Reader Michael Kennedy ! ! ! ________________________________! ! ! Disclosures Research for this thesis has been completed with the support of: Royce Fellowship, Swearer Center for Public Service, Brown University, 2012-2013 Barbara Anton Internship Grant, Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women, Brown University, 2012-2013 Alice Rowan Swanson Fellowship, SIT Study Abroad, 2012 Acknowledgements I have so much gratitude for the multiple people who have made this project a reality. Carrie Spearin, my advisor, has been patient and understanding. Her pragmatism has enabled me to keep everything in perspective when I felt overwhelmed. Michael Kennedy is my first reader and his own experience of studying a social movement through engaged ethnography has been integral to the way he has guided my research. He has challenged me by asking the right questions at the right time. I have come to appreciate that both Professor Spearin’s and Professor Kennedy’s concern for my safety during this project was driven by their genuine parental instincts. Kerri Heffernan, the director of the Royce Fellowship Program at the Swearer Center for Public Service, has been an invaluable resource for me. She helped me realize that I needed to assemble a team of people at Brown who would believe in me to complete my research in the Netherlands and Morocco. This group of professors includes Melani Cammett, Rebecca Allen, Ziad Bentahar, Mehrangiz Kar, and John Modell.

CONCLUSIONES RESUMEN: El incierto estatuto jurídico de la isla de Perejil, disputada por España y Marruecos, trae causa de una confusa historia que se retrotrae a los tiempos en que Ceuta pertenecía a Portugal. Por ello, para analizar los títulos españoles hay que examinar tanto los que se derivan de los actos portugueses en el islote como los desarrollados por España a lo largo de los siglos, desde el siglo XV. Y, posteriormente, es ineludible analizar la posición de Marruecos en el contencioso. Todo ello confluye en un statu quo indeterminado que se afianzó tras el incidente militar desencadenado entre España y Marruecos en 2002. PALABRAS CLAVE: Estrecho de Gibraltar; conflicto de la isla de Perejil; islote; adquisición de soberanía territorial; conquista; ocupación; prescripción adquisitiva. SPAIN AND MOROCCO IN THE STRAITS OF GIBRALTAR: THE STATU QUO OF PEREJIL ISLET ABSTRACT: The uncertain legal status of the island of Perejil, disputed by Spain and Morocco, brings about a confusing history that goes back to the times when Ceuta belonged to Portugal.

  • What the Women Say
    WHAT THE WOMEN SAY Morocco’s Dilemma: Rights and Reform or Closure and Conservatism? Civil Society Action Network International March 2015 Brief 13 Key Findings In a volatile region, Morocco is navigating a political space where both conservatives and progressives are present and vocal. Morocco has a progressive constitution, but new political actors and deepening Women’s Rights, Peace andSecurity Women’s Peace Rights, social conservatism threaten to reverse previous gains on equal rights. For Morocco needs bold leadership to fully implement its laws and transform the ICAN social and judicial status quo to allow for equality and social justice. In the last half of 2014, the Moroccan government has prevented activities of some women’s and human rights organizations without any credible explanation. A new generation of civil society actors working for women’s and human rights are developing new methods to engage broader segments of society.

  • Human Rights and Social Movements in a Multicultural Context AFRS 3000 (3 Credits / 45 Hours)
    Human Rights and Social Movements in a Multicultural Context AFRS 3000 (3 credits / 45 hours) SIT Study Abroad Program: Morocco: Multiculturalism and Human Rights PLEASE NOTE: This syllabus represents a recent semester. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of unique learning opportunities, actual course content varies from semester to semester. Description This seminar aims to introduce students to the major current debates on the questions of human rights and social movements in the Moroccan hybrid political context. In the aftermath of the February 20, 2011 movement (the Moroccan version of the Arab Spring; since commonly known as the February 20 Movement), Morocco has witnessed many social protest movements across the country. These movements opened the door for a fundamental rethinking of the prevalent paradigms used to understand Moroccan political social dynamics. Students look at movements in terms of large-scale, dramatic events, while also paying close attention to the social infrastructure and actions of ordinary people that sustain movements on a daily basis. Using a perspective of "human rights practice" the focus is on analyzing how groups and organizations operationalize human rights, and view human rights through action rather than simply as legal norms. The seminar engages Moroccan academics, artists, civil society activists, policy makers and students in debates on the development of a multicultural society in a political hybrid regime. Learning Outcomes By the end of the course, students will

  • Colonial and Orientalist Veils
    Colonial and Orientalist Veils: Associations of Islamic Female Dress in the French and Moroccan Press and Politics Loubna Bijdiguen Goldmiths College – University of London Thesis Submitted for a PhD in Media and Communications Abstract The veiled Muslimah or Muslim woman has figured as a threat in media during the past few years, especially with the increasing visibility of religious practices in both Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority contexts. Islamic dress has further become a means and technique of constructing ideas about the ‘other’. My study explores how the veil comes to embody this otherness in the contemporary print media and politics. It is an attempt to question constructions of the veil by showing how they repeat older colonial and Orientalist histories. I compare and contrast representations of the dress in Morocco and France. This research is about how Muslimat, and more particularly their Islamic attire, is portrayed in the contemporary print media and politics. My research aims to explore constructions of the dress in the contemporary Moroccan and French press and politics, and how the veil comes to acquire meanings, or veil associations, over time. I consider the veil in Orientalist, postcolonial, Muslim and Islamic feminist contexts, and constructions of the veil in Orientalist and Arab Nahda texts. I also examine Islamic dress in contemporary Moroccan and French print media and politics. While I focus on similarities and continuities, I also highlight differences in constructions of the veil. My study establishes the importance of merging and comparing histories, social contexts and geographies, and offers an opportunity to read the veil from a multivocal, multilingual, cross-historical perspective, in order to reconsider discourses of Islamic dress past and present in comparative perspective.

Challenges and Opportunities Facing Successful Women in Morocco Dr. Maia Hallward School of Conflict Management, Peacebuilding and Development Kenensaw State University [email protected] Cortney Stewart School of Conflict Management, Peacebuilding and Development Kenensaw State University [email protected] Over a decade since the passage of a revised family status code (mudawana) in Morocco, the literature varies in its assessment of the code’s impact on women’s rights and opportunities. While some studies point to the formal support for gender equality reflected in the revised code, others note that Moroccan women continue to face challenges in the social and symbolic spheres. Drawing on interviews conducted by the authors with women leaders in Morocco in 2016, this paper investigates the opportunities and obstacles these women have encountered in their personal journeys. The paper explores the extent to which elite background, work sector, religion, and legal codes affect women’s ascent to leadership roles and shares the women’s own views regarding improving women’s status.
