“Fatema Mernissi for Our Times” brought together international scholars for a conference to discuss women, gender, and sexuality issues in the Muslim and Arab worlds in light of the life and work of pioneer Moroccan feminist sociologist and writer Fatema Mernissi. A group of prominent feminist scholars gathered from various UC campuses and throughout the world to engage with Mernissi’s contributions in order to attain a critical understanding of Islam, feminism, and activism, transnationally.
