Arab Feminism Isn't an Oxymoron

Nadine Naber's Talk illustrates how stereotypical understandings of the concepts of both “Arab culture” and “feminism” lead many people to believe that Arab feminism is an oxymoron. Naber reframes this limiting belief to offer a new framework that allows people not only to understand that Arab feminism exists, but also that there are in fact, many different kinds of “Arab feminism.” Ultimately, this Talk inspires us to imagine what Arab feminism can offer to anyone interested in achieving gender and social justice globally and locally. Dr. Nadine Naber is an award winning author, public speaker, and activist on the topics of racial and gender justice, women of color, Arab and Muslim feminisms, and Arab and Muslim Americans.
