Islam, Women, and Genderization in Professions: The Case of Uzbekistan

Author:

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter investigates how religious discourses construct women’s participation in higher education and the genderization of professions in Uzbekistan. Qualitative in nature, it analyzes primary sources, namely the texts of four contemporary Uzbekistani Muslim religious figures who enjoy a large audience in the country and, to some extent, in the region. Despite having significant dissimilarities, all four figures share one key element—a male-centered approach to women’s participation in higher education and in choosing professions. The chapter employs Peter Glick and Susan Fiske’s “Ambivalent Sexism Theory” to discuss its findings. While the current chapter does not claim a direct correlation between existing Islamic discourses about women’s participation in higher education and the genderization of professions, it argues that the views of the four selected religious figures are reflective of the Uzbekistani society’s values and that they are mutually constitutive.
