This talk addresses the politics of honour crime, focusing on the term's transnational discursive economy and political uses in Canada, the U.S. and Israel. The talk will explore the national and international stakes in the honour crime label, arguing for the importance of situating these crimes in a broader context of heterosexual and patriarchal acts of gendered violence.
Professor Dana Olwan is Assistant Professor in the Department of Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies at Syracuse University.
Dr. Olwan鈥檚 visit is co-sponsored by the Cultural Studies Program and by the The Muslim Societies, Global Perspectives (MSGP) Initiative. Check out the MSGP website and on .

The exhibition 鈥淢en in the Sun鈥 was a unique art show in 2009, featuring the work of Palestinian citizens of Israel in a major Israeli museum. In this talk, the curator, Tal Ben Zvi , discusses two axes of themes expressed in the works: silence as an expression of loss, and the temporariness Palestinians experience as a state/space of consciousness, even when they live in their historical land.
