DESCRIPTION:Established in 2004 in honor of Barnard alumna Helen Pond McIntyre ’48, 
 the McIntyre lectureship highlights the work of scholars who have made 
 extraordinary contributions to the field of Women’s Studies.  In past 
 years, the lecture series has welcomed numerous feminist icons, including 
 legal scholar Patricia Williams; human rights advocate Dorothy Q. Thomas; 
 feminist science pioneer Anne Fausto-Sterling; and scholar and activist 
 Angela Davis.  This fall, we are pleased to highlight the work of Saba 
 Mahmood, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of 
 California and expert on issues of secularism, gender, and modernity within 
 the context of Islamist movements in the Middle East and South Asia.  
 Professor Mahmood will reflect on why ethical practice and forms of 
 embodiment matter to questions of feminist politics and analysis.  By 
 engaging some common misreadings of her 2005 book Politics of Piety, 
 Mahmood urges feminist scholars to critically re-think the normative status 
 accorded to secular conceptions of the self and body in contemporary 
 debates about religion. Saba Mahmood is Associate Professor of Anthropology 
 at the University of California Berkeley. She is the author of Politics of 
 Piety: The Islamic Revival and the Feminist Subject, which received the 
 2005 Victoria Schuck award from the American Association of Political 
 Science. Mahmood is the recipient of the 2007 Carnegie Corporation 
 Scholar’s award, and the Frederick Burkhardt fellowship from the American 
 Council of Learned Societies (2009-10). Her current project focuses on the 
 politics of religious freedom in the Middle East.\n\n
