Veiling as Theory and Practice: Wearing Hejab in Iran
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Cost: NA
- Contact: Art History Department
- Description: Claire T. Carney Library | Room 215, Honors Seminar Room
Abstract:
Wearing hejab (Muslim modest dress; Muslim women's headscarf) is often assumed to be a simple indication of a woman's religious commitment. But in Iran, where all women (Muslim and non-Muslim, Iranian and foreigners) are required to dress modestly and cover their hair, the variations in a woman's modest street clothing and public head covering may indicate many things other than religion. How do women balance legal, practical, and personal requirements in the varieties of their everyday dress? This talk will address veiling as both public obligation and personal representation in the contemporary Islamic Republic of Iran.
About the speaker:
Dr. Norma Claire Moruzzi is Associate Professor of Political Science, Gender and Women's Studies, and History, Director of the International Studies Program, and chair of the Middle East and Muslim Societies Cluster at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her book Speaking through the Mask: Hannah Arendt and the Politics of Social Identity won the 2002 Gradiva Award, and she has published on women's and gender issues and cinema in Iran and the Middle East, is a consulting editor and former board member of the journal Middle East Report (MERIP). She is currently writing a book based on ten years of field work research in Iran, titled Tied Up in Tehran: Women, Social Change, and the Politics of Daily Life.
Lecture is organized by Professor Pamela Karimi and in conjunction with Hons 203: Creating a Global Community [The Visual and Material Cultures of Islam]

The UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts proudly presents its 2018 Thesis Exhibition in two locations in Downtown New Bedford from March 31 through May 12. Fourteen graduating students representing a wide range of media including painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography and design are exhibiting their work for the first time, not only at the Star Store Campus, but also at the New Bedford Art Museum/Artworks!
The presented work, according to Viera Levitt, exhibition co-curator and University Art Gallery director, is driven by compelling and engaging themes such as vulnerability, feminism, cultural differences, spatial explorations, and the disappearing life of the American farm.
The Museum will feature works in ceramics, sculpture, fiber, digital art, prints, drawings, paintings, and a virtual reality experience within their Fiber Optic Center New Media Gallery. The exhibition co-curator, Jamie Uretsky, New Bedford Art Museum/ArtWorks!, says, she is "always looking for compelling emerging talent and this year's batch of CVPA graduates are just that!"
The exhibition catalog, designed by UMass Dartmouth Graphic Design students, will be available during the reception on April 7. Artist talks will take place in both spaces during AHA! Night on May 12 (6 pm Star Store Campus, 7 pm Museum). In June, selections from this exhibition will be on display at Soprafina Gallery in the urban arts district, South of Washington (SoWa), in Boston (Opening Reception Friday, June 1st).
