Professor Faegheh Shirazi, Associate Professor Islamic Studies Program, University of Texas at Austin
While a large number of Muslim feminist scholars and organizations focus on issues concerning Muslim women's rights, a host of issues related to Muslim masculinity receive much less attention. These issues include defining cultural and religious markers that signal "masculine" identity and behavior, as well as determining the consequences of these markers. Although a paucity of scholarship exists in Muslim masculine topics as compared to those about Muslim femininity and her rights, however the interest in Muslim masculinity scholarship is gaining more attention.This talk focuses on how societal rules and Islamic traditions regarding facial grooming impact the experience of Muslim men. Examples will be drawn from Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan in order to explore the underlying significance of this issue.
