Project description

This research project sets out to analyze Islamist feminism in the Tunisian post-Ben Ali era. It envisages an understanding and assessment of the activism of Islamist women in Tunisia by connecting the formation of a critical theory of ‘Islamist feminism’ to an empirical study of concrete movements and practices in the field.
