“…The use of the vertical case study method furthers the claim that power and policy are inextricably linked and can be critically observed at all levels of policy design, implementation, and localization (Vavrus & Bartlett, 2009). Few scholars (Adely, 2012;Megahed & Lack, 2011) have examined the effect policy recommendations have on national and local governments of the MENA region, the development community, and most importantly members of local communities who are often the targets of these strategies.…”

In Egypt, early-marriage is implicated as a barrier to educational access for girls living in rural areas. It is understood to impede women's access to education and the labor market. This paper focuses on Ishraq, a second chance girls' education initiative brought on by the Girls Education Initiative-Egypt. Using a critical poststructural conceptual framework, this paper examines how individuals associated with the Ishraq program engage in social contests concerning the relationship between marriage and education by employing a qualitative case study approach grounded in ethnographic methodological considerations. This essay argues participant's view religious life as the single most important consideration in articulating and enacting their conceptions of community development and girl's empowerment, providing a framework for understanding the relationship between marriage and education. These perspectives demonstrate how participants navigate certain structural realities in their lives and the strategies they employ in localizing the designed affects of the Ishraq program.

“…Over the 20 th century the nuclear family thus increasingly appeared as the basic unit of society, eliciting the emergence of new forms of spousal relationship, personal expectations, intimacy, and culturally-shaped emotions. Romance and love marriage have entered the imagination of Arab societies (Adely 2012;Fortier, Kreil and Maffi 2016), among others, thanks to a new model of family and marriage promoted by the state and triggered by major cultural, political and economic transformations.…”

Her research focuses on love experiences among young people in Muscat, the capital of the sultanate of Oman. She analyses the declensions of love and its representations in the marriage system, as well as the religious, political and educational milieus with a particular focus on globalization. Her research interests include affects and intimacy at the crossroad between gender studies, anthropology of emotions, youth and urban studies.

“…Literature on geographies and anthropologies of education highlights the value of ethnographic engagement with school practices that go beyond curriculum or textbook analysis in order to examine what is going on inside the school -during and between lessons, on playgrounds, in cafeterias, or in bathrooms (Jeffrey, 2010;Holloway et al, 2010;Hromadžić, 2011;Levinson, 1996;Mills and Kraftl, 2016;Reed-Danahay, 1996;Willis, 1981). These studies have revealed that there is much more contestation, negotiation and resistance going on in schools, thus drawing attention to the agency of teachers and students in shaping classroom spaces (Adely, 2012;Bénéï, 2008;Willis, 1981). Thus, methodologically and theoretically we situate ourselves within this body of literature and seek to contribute to the debate by highlighting the role of emotions and embodiment in negotiating conflictual educational landscapes.…”

Abstract. The article analyzes unfoldings and enactments of narratives on a politically divisive past in educational spaces of two multi-ethnic settings -the Republic of Tatarstan and Bosnia and Herzegovina. We explore how the contested past is represented within official school curricula and how it unfolds in concrete school settings. In each case we have a historic event that is a politically divisive and contentious issue. Though one of these historical events lies far back in history (1552) and the other is more recent (1992)(1993)(1994)(1995), in both cases the contested past is being silenced in the official history curricula. The paper is guided by the following question: in what ways does a past that is muted within a history curriculum continue to speak and structure the relationships of the school present? In order to answer this question, we situate our work within the literature on ethnographies of education, as well as the relatively new but burgeoning field of inquiry on emotional geographies and anthropologies of education. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in these two settings, we argue that the narratives on the violent past form and divide national communities not only through divergent views and interpretations of the historic event by the groups involved but also through strong emotional attachments to these narratives. We conclude by calling for a sustained engagement with emotions in educational settings as sites of embodiment that work to negotiate and actively rework top-down educational narratives, especially when considering the processes of identity-building through school spaces.
