Liberal Arts and Sciences Interdisciplinary Conference

Keynote Speaker: 

Shahrzad Mojab

OISE/University of Toronto
 

Throughout her career as a scholar, teacher, and activist, Professor Mojab has examined and documented the effects of war, displacement, and violence on women's learning and education. Her efforts have deepened our understanding of gender relations, patriarchy, and fundamentalisms in cultures around the world.

A former Director of the Women and Gender Institute at the University of Toronto (2003 -2008), Professor Mojab currently teaches in the Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.

While publishing in numerous academic journals, she has edited or co-edited several books, including Women, War, Violence, and Learning (2010) and Violence in the Name of Honour: Theoretical and Political Challenges (2004). For her efforts, she has re- ceived the Royal Society of Canada Award in Gender Studies (2010) and OISE/ University of Toronto Distinguished Contribution to Graduate Teaching Award (2008), among other honours.

A noteworthy feature of Professor Mojab's work is her effort to raise public awareness through story-telling, dance, drama, painting, film and other media. Recent examples include her 2007 documentary Samjana: Memoirs and Resistance and her current pro- ject, Remembering Not to Forget, a digital story-telling archive featuring images, texts and recorded narratives of former victims of state violence.
