Overview
We hear many stories about Muslim women’s subservience as a result of victimization by Muslim men. Less common are stories of Muslim women’s resistance as a result of exclusionary state policies. This talk on Muslim women in Shaheen Bagh, New Delhi, in 2019 tells a story about how marginalization can inspire demands for inclusive, secular, democratic citizenship rights.
This event is geared toward an in-person audience, so we strongly prefer you join us on our Ithaca campus. If this is not possible, Zoom information will be included in the registration confirmation email.
This lecture is co-sponsored by: Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, The Center for the Study of Inequality, The Cornell Center for the Social Sciences, The Cornell Population Center, The Brooks School of Public Policy and the South Asia Program.
