Opportunity for CT Muslim Women to speak to Wesleyan Students as CT Muslim Women!
Wesleyan University have reached out to the Muslim Coalition of Connecticut to connect their students with Muslim Women (who are in their 20s) in Connecticut as part of a course being taught by Leila Buck.
Here is the description of the course, and a link for complete information:
Beyond the Veil: Representations and Realities of Muslim Women in the U.S.:
Led by playwright and actress Leila Buck, this course will use artistic methods to research and examine the dominant representations of Muslim women in U.S. mainstream media, and engage with the complex realities of Muslim women's lives through personal narratives and in-person connections. The course will include a service-learning component where students will connect with Muslim women in Connecticut and beyond, while exploring the politics of representation and the role of story in shaping our perceptions of and relationships to Muslim women in the U.S. and beyond. This course is part of the Center for the Arts' Muslim Women's Voices at Wesleyan program and the Creative Campus Initiative.
