The most difficult part for me was to write in an objective writing style on a social justice issue that I personally have very strong opinions about. Another challenge that I had to overcome was how to effectively search through databases for relatively recent sources that best answer the question I’m asking. In my own research I was surprised by how much I didn’t know about the issue. I foolishly oversimplified the whole issue. My project allowed me to broaden the horizon of my competence on this specific subject. I explored whether or not the hijab ban was a violation of human rights and was able to delve deeper into the thinking of those opposed to the hijab.

Class Meetings & Times: in person Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4 – 5:15 PM in Namm 403
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
