What are the obstacles they navigate in these roles, and how do these obstacles vary across different Muslim contexts? What are the developments that have encouraged the expansion of women's engagement in public leadership roles?We invite proposals from scholars and advanced graduate students that explore the leadership roles of women in either majority or minority Muslim communities, engaging the questions and issues raised above.
