The National Women's Studies Association proudly co-sponsors the open classroom workshop Revisiting "The Colonial Harem": Gender, Justice, & Resistance in the Age of Genocide, which is hosted by the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities Diasporas (AMED) Studies Program at San Francisco State University and Teaching Palestine: Pedagogical Praxis & the Indivisibility of Justice.
Employing Malek Alloula's classic, The Colonial Harem, as a point of departure, the fourth Open Classroom in Palestine: Ethnic Studies Perspective Course, launched as part of Popular University for Gaza, will discuss: *In what ways do Islamophobia, Orientalism, and Zionism enable the censorship and silencing of critical thinking, debate and teaching on gender and sexual justice in Arab, Muslim, and Palestinian communities? *How significant is pink washing and colonial feminism in enabling and justifying the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza and what are some of the strategies to resist them?
