Description
This event brings together four scholars whose expertise cuts across the challenges of women’s education in tribal Pakistan, the historical encounter of Islam and modernity, and the cultural problematics of international aid. It highlights how global debates about educational reform and women’s education do not occur in a vacuum but are highly inflected by historically embedded ideologies, as well as culturally and politically vexed notions about human identity, education and development.
