Transformations of gender orders in Syria and Morocco

阿拉伯世界的性别关系正在经历迅速的变化，这既是由政治、文化和经济变革以及非政府组织的活动所引发的。关于新的性别秩序的争议主要源于对未来的宗教和世俗愿景之间的差异。这里提出的研究项目旨在通过人种学方法研究叙利亚和摩洛哥的这些变化，并阐明所涉男女行为者的观点。主要关注的是学生，他们是一支现代化的力量，是未来的精英，因此特别重要。

Gender relations in the Arab World are undergoing rapid changes that are triggered both by political, cultural and economic transformations and by the activities of non-governmental organizations. Controversies over new gender orders arise primarily out of discrepancies between religious and secular visions for the future. The research project proposed here aims at studying these changes in Syria and Morocco by means of ethnographic methods and at elucidating the perspectives of the female and male actors involved. The main focus is on students, who are a modernizing force and future elite and thus of particular importance.
