Call for papers: Negotiating Political Inclusion: Women and Party Politics in the Middle East and North Africa

From women’s key role in the recent democratization uprisings across the region, to their demands to enter political-decision-making positions, women are actively protesting their marginalization from the political sphere and demanding a voice in political processes. The Commission of the Middle East of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES) and the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland invites papers that seek to survey how women’s political activism and influence in the Middle East has evolved. Interested individuals are invited to submit an abstract in English no later than 15 March 2016. For more details, please click here.
