Muslim Women Stereotyped
In this paper, I use global education theories and principles to deconstruct common myths regarding Muslim women and the Islamic treatment of women. This paper demonstrates how global education theory and principles can be used to deconstruct and reframe the myths and misconceptions perpetuated on Muslim women. The three major themes explored – female circumcision, polygamy, and subordination – are embedded in a single case and serve as a rich il…
Autoethnography as a Genre of Qualitative Research
In this article, I argue that an autobiographical narrative approach is highly suited to educational research. I discuss how a researcher's personal narrative, or autoethnography, can act as a source of privileged knowledge. I further argue that personal experience methods can be used on a variety of topics relevant to teaching and the field of education in order to expand knowledge. Autobiographical narrative is a research genre and a methodolog…
Single-sex or Co-educational Learning Experiences
In this paper I discuss how Arab Muslim women view the learning experiences of children in single-sex and co-educational schools. I explore the stereotypes that are perpetuated about each form of schooling and how these stereotypes may have hindered or encouraged their children's educational pursuits. While some participants see single-sex schooling as a vehicle for improving the educational experiences of girls, others perceive that single-sex s…

These women were interviewed to ascertain their gender pe…
