New JIWS Special Issue:

Islam and Gender in Asia and the Diaspora: Call for Papers

This Special Issue of the Journal of International Women's Studies
(JIWS) solicits articles on Islam and Gender with a focus on Asia.
Submissions will address women's lives, gender dynamics and Muslim
women's movements, including both formal movements and subtle,
informal, everyday acts of resistance. The special issue will include
a broad range of discussions on how Muslim women strategise and
negotiate their lives and/or movements to accommodate and/or resist
Islamic dominance in terms of the nation state, constitutions and
dominant cultural norms. We are seeking articles that tackle the
above stated issues, specifically covering the regions of Iran,
Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Southeast Asia and any Muslim demographic from the pertinent region as
well as the diaspora, including refugee populations.

Scholars and activists are invited to submit unpublished manuscripts
that are currently not under review. Please consult the JIWS web site:
http://www.bridgew.edu/SoAS/jiws/submit.htm

For submission guidelines including length, format and
bibliographical/ referencing styles. Forward all submissions via email
attachment to the special issue editors, Huma Ahmed-Ghosh at
ghosh@mail.sdsu.edu or Rahat Imran at rai@sfu.edu by May 1, 2009.
