Podcast appearances and mentions of ziba mir hosseini

In her latest book Journeys Toward Gender Equality in Islam (Oneworld Publications, 2022) Ziba Mir-Hosseini interviews several Muslim scholars of gender in different settings over the course of a decade. These folks are Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im, amina wadud, Asma Lamrabet, Khaled Abou El Fadl, Mohsen Kadivar, and Sedigheh Vasmaghi. Mir-Hosseini is a scholar of Islam, a film-maker, an anthropologist, and an activist. She is a founding member of Musawah: Global Movement for Equality in Muslim Family Laws, and the convenor of its knowledge-building initiative to rethink the notion of male authority in Muslim family laws. Currently, Mir-Hosseini is a professorial research associate at the Centre for Islamic and Middle Eastern Law at SOAS, University of London. Her other books include Marriage on Trial: A Study of Islamic Family Law in Iran and Morocco (I. B. Tauris, 1993, 2002) and Islam and Gender: The Religious Debate in Contemporary Iran (Princeton University Press, 1999). She is also co-editor of Men in Charge?: Rethinking Authority in Muslim Legal Tradition (Oneworld Academic, 2015), and co-director of two award-winning feature-length documentary films on contemporary issues in Iran, Divorce Iranian Style from 1998 and Runaway from 2001 (2001). Ziba and the six other scholars she speaks with are contemporary influential scholars of Islam who have been working for decades on gender and social justice issues from an Islamic perspective, using Islamic sources, and in most cases, working with Islamic institutions in Muslim-majority countries. As the tittle of the book suggests, it describes these scholars' journey toward gender equality. Some of the themes covered in the book are these scholars' opinion on the role of Muslim institutions in bringing gender justice in Muslim societies, that of the meaning and role of the Qur'an, their approaches to sharia and fiqh, and so on. In our conversation today, I talk with Ziba about each of the scholars covered in the book, some of the main issues and themes that arise in their journeys toward gender justice in Islam, sharia and fiqh – and in particular about the social construction of sharia – about maintaining hope and faith in working toward gender justice, about experience as a source of theological knowledge, the consequences of these scholars' work on their lives, the future of Islamic feminism, and the work of Musawah, which is a movement for gender equality in Muslim family laws. Shehnaz Haqqani is an Assistant Professor of Religion at Mercer University. She earned her PhD in Islamic Studies with a focus on gender from the University of Texas at Austin in 2018. Her dissertation research explored questions of change and tradition, specifically in the context of gender and sexuality, in Islam. She can be reached at haqqani_s@mercer.edu.

Andrea Gumes charla con Marta Vives, guionista, actriz y escritora que nos presenta su primera novela “Una mujer con la cuna fracturada” (2020, Tres Hermanas) y aprovechamos para hablar de primeras novelas, el mundo literario y cómo presentar un manuscrito. Vuelve Míriam Hatibi con su sección de feminismo interseccional para hablar hoy de feminismo islámico. Según Afsaneh Najmabadeh y Ziba Mir-Hosseini el concepto feminismo islámico se popularizó en Teherán, entre las redactoras de la revista Zanan. Sin embargo, todavía cuesta entender a qué nos referimos cuando hablamos de feminismo islámico y cuáles son exactamente los objetivos de este movimiento que es en parte espiritual y en parte social.

Pour bien commencer l'année, JINS, votre podcast sur la sexualité des personnes Arabes et/ou musulmanes de France, ne vous livre pas 1 mais 2 épisodes ce jeudi ! Je vous propose de plonger encore un peu plus dans le monde musulman et de parler d’une mouvance qui m’est très chère : celle du féminisme islamique. Oui, l’islam porte un message fondamentalement féministe. Oui, le féminisme islamique, dans la même vague que l’afro-féminisme, le féminisme décolonial / postcolonial, vient réclamer ses droits légitimes et fondamentaux, ceux pour une femme de disposer librement de son corps, de parler, de circuler et de croire librement, portant le foulard ou pas, respectée pour ses choix et non soumise à une logique patriarcalo-islamiste, ni à une définition réductive par certaines féministes blanches qui se veulent universalistes.     C'est un honneur pour moi d'échanger avec l'invitée du jour, Asma Lamrabet. Médecin biologiste, exégète, essayiste et féministe musulmane marocaine. Elle a dirigé le Centre des études féminines en islam dans le Royaume du Maroc. Elle a écrit de nombreux livres sur l’égalité homme-femme dans le Coran. Avec beaucoup d’académisme et de science, elle plonge dans le Coran et dans la Sunna (c'est-à-dire l’ensemble des paroles du Prophète) pour retrouver tous les épisodes constitutifs d’une place égalitaire de la femme en islam par rapport à l’homme.  Si vous voulez bouquiner

Offshoring - the economy of secrecy. The concealment of wealth in tax havens is part of public debate, but John Urry, Professor of Sociology at Lancaster University, argues that offshore worlds now also involve relations of work, pleasure, energy and security. He talks to Laurie Taylor about new patterns of power which pose huge challenges to democratic government. Also, Dr Aliakbar Jafari, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Marketing at the University of Strathclyde, discusses his research on Iranian women's use of make up, as a form of escape and self expression.
