Asma Barlas is an academic educated in Pakistan and the United States. Both her parents were intellectuals and taught her to be an independent woman, capable of doing whatever she wanted. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://icarusfilms.com/new2012/islam2.html )〕 She left Pakistan in 1983, seeking political asylum in the USA. She is the Director of the Center for the Study of Culture, Race, and Ethnicity of the department of politics at Ithaca College, New York. Her specialties include comparative and international politics, Islam and Qur'anic hermeneutics, and women and gender.〔(Homepage of Asma Barlas )〕 Barlas was named to the prestigious Spinoza Chair at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands for "her prominent contributions to discussions about women and Islam".〔(Ithaca College Politics Professor Named to Spinoza Chair at University of Amsterdam )〕
Barlas rejects the designation of her views and interpretations of Islam as "Islamic feminism," unless that term is defined as "a discourse of gender equality and social justice that derives its understanding and mandate from the Qur'an and seeks the practice of rights and justice for all human beings in the totality of their existence across the public-private continuum."〔(The Qur’an, Sexual Equality, and Feminism ) University of Toronto, 12 January 2004〕
== Biography ==
Born in Pakistan in 1950,〔(Muslim Women: Past and Present )〕 Barlas was one of the first women to be inducted into the foreign service. Her diplomatic career was ended when General Zia ul Haq dismissed her from the Foreign Service on two charges: for calling him a "buffoon" in her personal diary (leaked by her former in-laws) and for having said, at a private dinner at the home of Pakistan's ambassador to the Philippines, that "the judiciary in Pakistan was neither free nor fair." She joined the newspaper ''The Muslim'' as assistant editor, but eventually had to leave Pakistan for reasons of personal safety in 1983, and later received political asylum in the US〔(Interview by Naufil Shahrukh: "The Qur'an Doesn't Support Patriarchy," ABC, The Nation, Pakistan, February 2005. )〕
Barlas is former chair of the Department of Politics and founding director of the Center for the Study of Culture, Race, and Ethnicity at Ithaca College. She has a B.A. in English Literature and philosophy, an M.A in Journalism from Pakistan, and an M.A. and PhD from the Graduate School of International Studies (now the Josef Korbel School) at the University of Denver in Colorado.〔(Asma Barlas Ithaca College CV ) Professor of Politics and Director of the Center for the Study of Culture, Race, and Ethnicity CV〕
