2011 JMEWS Distinguished Lecture and Research Workshops

The the 2011 Journal of Middle East Women’s Studies Distinguished Lecture and Research Workshops will take place on Friday, April 15 at Yale University and will explore the topic of “Gender and the Middle East Uprisings.” The Distinguished Lecturer will be Dr. Diane Singerman, Associate Professor in the Department of Government at American University. Dr. Singerman’s research interests focus on political change from below, particularly in the Middle East, and more specifically in Egypt; her work examines the formal and informal side of politics, gender, social movements, globalization, public space, protest, and urban politics. Following Dr. Singerman’s lecture, afternoon research workshops around the conference theme will be held.  READ MORE.
