The Woman Question in Islamic Studies

Más información sobre el libro

Examining the pervasive sexism in academic Islamic studies, Kecia Ali highlights how male dominance continues to marginalize women's contributions and scholarship in the field. Despite an increase in gender-related research, women's work is often overlooked, and gender topics remain peripheral in curricula and media discussions. Ali analyzes textbooks and syllabi that exclude female historical figures and scholars, ultimately providing a practical guide for scholars to combat sexism and promote equity in the discipline.
