Feminist Movements in a Reactionary Era - "Authoritarianism, Religion, and the State" Panel
How have women’s movements responded to the growth of conservative religious parties and movements? What kinds of fissures have emerged between secular and religious women activists and how should we assess feminist debates on secularism in an era of growing Islamophobia?
Moderated by: Susan Shapiro (Director, UMass Amherst Religious Studies Certificate Program and Associate Professor, UMass Amherst Judaic and Near Eastern Studies) and Banu Subramaniam (Director, FCWSRC)
