    • Patriarchy and Religion: A Global Perspective . RG ST 29

    Explores the intricate relationship between religion and patriarchy. We investigate how various religious traditions and belief systems have historically influenced and perpetuated patriarchal structures and norms. Additionally, we examine the ways in which individuals and groups within religious contexts have challenged and reinterpreted these norms to advancegender equality. Through critical analysis, discussions, and scholarly exploration, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the intersections between religion, patriarchy, and social change.

    RGST6 . Afary J 3 Months Ago

    Love her! Took RGST 29 with afary and she brought snacks. She also had a really cute Halloween and rainy day outfit. Two handwritten midterms and a final but they were hella easy and self explanatory questions so I never did the readings and aced them. Read off her slides a bit but she clearly knew her stuff. Would take another class with afary

    RGST6 . Afary J 3 Months Ago

    I took RG ST 29, it was a really great class. I was interested in the material before so taking the class was very interesting, I loved the material. The exams were not stressful and homework was basically just readings that she went over anyways in class(slides). Overall a light and easy going class! I loved it and would definitely take it again!

    HIST46 . Afary J 2 Years Ago

    Soft spoken professor and slide dependent lectures but if you want to learn about Iran its a great class to take that wasn't hard really. Two midterms that you have to study for but if you study they're super easy. Section attendance is mandatory but you go over a lot of topics that help with the midterms and final. Final is a paper and easy test

    HIST46MI . Afary J 2 Years Ago

    Professor Afary is extremely knowledgable about the topic, but her lectures were often hard to pay attention to. The midterm and final are both a mixture of multiple choice and free response questions. Attendance was supposed to be mandatory, but she was very inconsistent about taking attendance. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH JANNA HAIDER IF YOU CAN
