| Description: Highlighting the work of scholars who have made extraordinary contributions to the field of women’s studies, this year’s McIntyre Lecture brings us the work of Saba Mahmood. Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of California Berkeley, Mahmood is the author of Politics of Piety: The Islamic Revival and the Feminist Subject, which has been declared “essential reading for anyone interested in issues at the nexus of ethics and politics, embodiment and gender.” Picking up where Politics of Piety leaves off, Mahmood will reflect on why ethical practice and forms of embodiment matter to feminist politics, and, conversely, why we must rethink secular conceptions of the self and the body in contemporary debates about religion.
