On the topic of being published

I think beyond the question of the headshot that accompanies my article, I feel too much energy is on this one line where I talk about possible conveersations between islam and feminism. But this specific part reads:

Western feminism can still contribute to Islamic understandings of the mothering, language, art, love, freedom, the erotic, heterosexism,and other areas of human experience in spite of the need to start from assumptions that are not part of the Western feminist tradition. The work of "jamming the theoretical machinery itself" (Irigaray 78, 1985) is still valuable and grounds for dialogue.

That is the topic of this blog so I might just take a little time to talk about that here....
