Critically assessing the construction of female authority within the Islamic intellectual tradition

该项目评估了古典伊斯兰传统中对女性权威的解释，特别关注政治和宗教权威的概念。这包括对《古兰经》评注、法律手册和政治文献的评估。该项目还将探讨宗教话语中的女性权威结构目前如何被用来限制当代世界的女性自主权。此外，穆斯林女权主义思想家重读古典传统的尝试和方法也将被探索。

This project assesses interpretations of female authority in the classical Islamic tradition, specifically focusing on notions of political and religious authority. This includes an assessment of Quranic commentaries, legal manuals and political literature. This project will also include an exploration of how constructions of female authority within religious discourse are currently being utilised to limit female autonomy within the contemporary world. Furthermore, the attempts and methods utilised by Muslim feminist thinkers to reread the classical tradition will also be explored.
