Dr. Nadine Naber, associate professor in the Gender and Women’s Studies Program at University of Illinois at Chicago, will illustrate how forms of state violence that currently shape the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are feminist concerns and how feminist movements have helped expand the possibility of building alternative futures.
