Busy Days

It is a long time I haven't been here to write.
1. My lovely course, Ethnography Methodology, is finished today and I had a presentation on Lila Abu-Lughod, a Palestinian- American feminist anthropologist. (How many labels!) This course was the best one in my Master. My prof was wonderful and made me so interested in Anthropology.

2. I talked to my senior supervisor and broaden my thesis topic a little bit. We agree on "Islam and Beautification; the case of immigrant women from Islamic countries". I like it more. The previous title was just about using cosmetics and my addressee was just Iranian women. I would like to examine the women who have raised in Islamic countries about embodiment and beautification and the effect of Islam principles.

3. There is a student conference is sponsored by a scholarly center in Middle East and Islamic studies in Vancouver. I will present my paper on "Female Narratives of Sex" on May 9.

4. My abstract for 27th international conference of IAMCR was accepted. This year conference will be held in Mexico in July. I applied for travel grant. If they offer me the grant, I will attend the conference. My spouse abstract was accepted too.
My abstract was about seeking different aspects of presented identity in Iranian women bloggers; I would like to focus on identity elements which are specifically related to the sexuality.

5. Friday will be the last session of my classes in Master in Canada. Then I should start to work on my thesis proposal quickly.
