As part of its efforts to foster an interactive academic environment and develop modern teaching methodologies, and under the close supervision and patronage of the Head of the Department of English Language at the College of Education, Al-Mustaqbal University, the department organized an exceptional workshop entitled “Feminism and the Drama of Emotions: Integrating Performance and Feminist Literary Analysis in Higher Education.”
The workshop was delivered by a collaborative team consisting of Assistant Lecturer Zainab Raad, a teacher at Al-Waeli Intermediate School for Girls, and her outstanding student, Noor Samer. The event witnessed the active participation and engagement of faculty members from the Department of English Language at the College of Education. It was moderated by Assistant Professor Dr. Ma'moun Sami and Assistant Lecturer Tabarak Aqeel Dawood.
The workshop was attended by the Dean of the College of Education, Assistant Professor Dr. Ahmed Rawdan; the Associate Dean for Scientific Affairs, Assistant Professor Dr. Ahmed Jundi; the Head of the Department of English Language, Lecturer Dr. Salam Hassan Al-Asadi; and a large number of faculty members from the college.
The workshop featured a vibrant academic atmosphere enriched by constructive discussions and valuable exchanges of ideas among faculty members and attendees. It explored the concept of feminism by integrating literary texts with theatrical performance and techniques drawn from Image Theatre and Theatre of the Oppressed. Moving beyond traditional frameworks, the workshop presented a thoughtful intellectual perspective that emphasized human understanding, awareness of women's realities and societal challenges, and the achievement of balanced roles away from adversarial interpretations.
The workshop also highlighted the importance of moving students beyond passive reception towards a more structured and analytical engagement with literary texts. This approach enables students to gain a deeper understanding of literature and explore the relationship between gender and power through an engaging and immersive experience that goes beyond memorization and rote learning.
This event reaffirms the Department of English Language's commitment to nurturing emerging talents, supporting creative abilities, and highlighting the pivotal role of the English language as an intellectual and cultural bridge connecting literary texts with contemporary critical approaches.
