  • Gender & Sexuality in the Middle East
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY - WINTER 2016 GENDER & SEXUALITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST SOCIOL 376 – GNDR ST 382 – MENA 390-3 Tues & Thurs: 3.30-4.50 @ Locy 111 Dr. Ayça Alemdaroglu [email protected] Office hours: Wednesday 11-12 pm Scott Hall 20 TA: Aydın Özipek [email protected] Office hours: By appointment Course Description This course explores the construction and experience of gender and sexuality in the Middle East. Drawing on the historical, sociological and anthropological research in the region, the course aims to question the stereotypes about the subordination of ‘Muslim’ women and to offer a systematic reading and an analytical discussion of the political, economic and cultural structures that inform femininity and masculinity in the region. The course will start with the examination of women in Islamic sources, then will move on to nationalist and modernization movements in the 19th and 20th centuries. Gender relations, women’s and men’s lives in contemporary Egypt, Turkey and Iran will be a central theme of the course. In this framework, we will also pay special attention to Islamist mobilization, family, sexuality, neoliberalism, women’s labor and the experiences of LGBT. Finally, we will discuss the role of women in recent uprisings and social change. Course objectives At the end of this course, the students will be able to: Develop an interdisciplinary and comparative understanding of gender and sexuality in the Middle East Know the main historical periods and social factors that play an important role in the construction of gender and sexuality in Egypt, Iran and Turkey Evaluate the merits of common representations of the Middle East and its people in North America and Europe.
