-UPDATE-

Dr. Nadia Guessous' article has now been translated to French and published in Conditions, an online journal that “aims to document both the lived realities of European Muslim communities and the socio-historical configurations specific to Muslim-majority societies” (“vise à documenter aussi bien les réalités vécues des communautés musulmanes européennes que les configurations sociohistoriques propres aux sociétés à majorité musulmane”).  

Its French title is “Tendresse, joie et dette intergénérationnelle. Réflexions sur les potentialités émancipatrices de la Coupe du Monde.” and can be found here: https://revue-conditions.com/tendresseetjoie 

Congratulations Dr. Guessous!

Feminist & Gender Studies is proud to announce Dr. Nadia Guessous recently published “On Tenderness, Joy, and Intergenerational Indebtedness: Reflections on the Decolonial Potentialities of the World Cup” in Jadaliyya, an independent ezine published by the Arab Studies Institute.

 In the article, professor Guessous argues that the Moroccan team’s participation in the 2022 World Soccer Cup “challenged dominant assumptions about Moroccan/North African/Muslim/immigrant masculinity while at the same time speaking back to notions of Western superiority and benevolence through their expressions of affection and indebtedness towards their immigrant mothers. In doing so, they reminded us of the liberatory and political significance of the felt and the intimate in resisting the dehumanization of minoritized, racialized, and marginalized subjects on the global stage.”    

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Guessous on this publication.

We are so lucky to know you!
