In “Tuareg Women: Intersectional Biases Between Orientalism, Masculinism and Traditional Cosmogony,” Professor Bencherif will present their current research. Professor Bencherif’s research explores the relations between nomadic communities and state authorities in the Sahel and North Africa with a focus on the narratives of Tuareg political elites. He also analyzes internal political dynamics among Tuareg communities.
