This winter, MHC will be hosting a timely virtual course, Woman, Life, Freedom: The Iranian Women’s Revolution in Transnational Context, with Dr. Yalda Hamidi from Minnesota State University-Mankato. The Iranian Feminist Movement of the moment is the first female-led movement in the Middle East and the world, which received global support and transnational solidarities, and incited several national and regional feminist resistance movements in Afghanistan, Turkey, India, and more. Understanding this movement can change our knowledge of the “other women” and how we perceive them in America and will challenge how we locate our feminist demand here in Minnesota.
This virtual course will meet for three weeks, and participants will learn more about Iranian history and culture, women’s rights in Iran, and the current women’s revolution, using pre-assigned readings and primary resources to guide their discussions. Key speakers will also be involved in each session to contribute their perspectives and engage participants in conversation.
Dr. Yalda Hamidi is Assistant Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies at Minnesota State University. She writes about the experiences of Iranian and Muslim women’s experiences of war and violence. At MNSU Mankato, Yalda teaches transnational feminism, feminist pedagogy, and queer identities courses. Yalda aspires to share women’s stories worldwide with her students, readers, and on social media.
