CONFERENCES
1.
Global Conference on Women and
Gender: “Gender, Politics and Everyday Life: Power, Resistance and
Representation”, Christopher Newport University, 19-21 March 2020
This interdisciplinary conference
brings together participants from all academic fields to engage in wide-ranging
conversations on gender and politics around the world. We encourage an
expansive understanding of political action and expression, inspired by Carol
Hanisch’s essay, “The Personal is Political,” which sees all relationships of
power as political and connects women’s experiences, self-expression, and values
to their lives as political actors and subjects.

International
Seminar: “Persian-Arabic Poetics and South Asian Literatures: Readings Recoveries

exchange of ideas that will unpack the relations between the mainstream and
margins, great and little traditions, major and minor languages within South
Asia. The very idea of the ‘literary’ here is open to question as the subject
proposed covers both the written and the oral, the philosophical and religious,
the narrative and the performative.

al-Bayt that is at the core of Shiʿi beliefs. One unifying theme of the symposia

we have considered the authority of the Imams, the development of centers of
learning, Shiʿism and governance, and dynamics of sectarianism in Islam.
