Feminism: The Professor

luucid Podcast

"You have these patriarchal Arab or Muslim men telling you to cover. You then have these Western Men telling you to uncover. Did they ever ask us what we want?"
Our guide for today on this journey of communal actualization is Dr. Haneen Al Ghabra. A professor at Kuwait University's Department of Mass Communication, specializing in Rhetoric and Cultural Studies.
Dr. Haneen is also the author of "Muslim Women and White Femininity." She's a devoted daughter and a steadfast intersectional feminist. I want to set the stage for this interview by shining the spotlight on three main points of focus for our dialogue:
- About Dr. Haneen and her unique human journey.
- Dive deep into the topic of feminism and the nuances that at times escapes the public's perception of the feminist movement.
- Getting a clear definition for feminism and actionable insights for what and how you can actively participate in the fight for equal rights and opportunities for our sisters, our daughters, and our mothers.
