Women in Place: The Politics of Gender Segregation in Iran

By maria [dot] lofstedt [at] cme [dot] lu [dot] se (Maria Löfstedt) - published 16 April 2019

Congratulations to Nazanin Shahrokni, Assistant Professor at Syracuse Univesrsity and Guest Researcher at CMES for this academic year for the completion of her book Women in Place: The Politics of Gender Segregation in Iran, an outline of which she presented in a CMES public lecture back in February in a packed lecture hall.

Women in Place offers a gripping inquiry into gender segregation policies and women’s rights in contemporary Iran. Nazanin Shahrokni takes us on a ride in gender segregated buses, inside a women-only park, and outside the closed doors of sports stadiums, where women are banned from attending men’s soccer matches.

And additional congratulations to Nazanin for taking up an Assistant Professor position at the Department of Gender Studies of the London School of Economics from September 2019. We look forward to continue working with her.

Women in place

Through a retelling of the past four decades of state policy regulating the gender boundary, Women in Place challenges notions of the Iranian state as overly unitary, ideological, and isolated from social forces, and pushes us to contemplate the changing place of women in a social order shaped by capitalism, state sanctioned Islamism, and debates about women’s rights.
