The 6th program in APSA’s MENA Workshops series began with a one-week workshop in partnership with New York University-Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The workshop was led by co-leaders <\/span>Naima Benlarabi (Ibn Tofail University, Morocco), Rachel Brul\u00e9 (New York University-Abu Dhabi, UAE), Hanane Darhour (Polydisciplinary Faculty of Ouarzazate, Morocco), Liv T\u00f8nnessen (Chr. Michelsen Institute, Norway), and Aili Mari Tripp (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA)<\/span>. Nineteen PhD students and early-career scholars attended as fellows. This year’s program aims <\/span>to explore theoretical and empirical scholarship on politics and gender within the MENA region. Attendees reviewed the recent literature and discussed current research across three areas of analysis. This first theme examines women\u2019s representation in legislatures, local government, the executive, and the judiciary as related to factors such as such gender quotas, decentralization, and institutional change. A second theme looks at legal reform, Islamic jurisprudence, and gender equality as related to women\u2019s rights reforms and women\u2019s economic empowerment. The third theme looks at women\u2019s movements and political change as related to policy outcomes, public opinion, international influences, and domestic coalition building. More broadly, the June workshop included sessions on getting published, pursuing research grants, and other professional development topics. Fellows also discussed their own research on the various political and socio-economic changes related to Women and Politics in the MENA region. See the Reading List.pdf<\/a> and Schedule.pdf<\/a> for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n

October Workshop: Rabat, Morocco<\/h2>\n
As a follow-up to the June workshop in Abu Dhabi, fellows were invited to a workshop in Rabat from October 14-18, 2019. Daily sessions were structured around research panel presentations in which fellows received feedback from peer discussants and co-leaders. The schedule also included several sessions on professional development topics and panel with guest speakers from parliament and several women’s NGOs (see the Schedule.pdf<\/a> for more information). Concluding their participation in the 5-month MENA Workshops Fellowship, alumni were given three years\u2019 complimentary membership to APSA and are eligible to apply for small grants to support their further research.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
