About this listen
What lies behind the stark educational divide in Afghanistan, where madrassas outnumber schools and rote learning prevails over true understanding? In this powerful episode of the Scholarly Podcast, we explore the influence of madrassas on extremism and gender dynamics in Taliban-controlled regions. Why are madrassa students often stigmatized, and how does their limited curriculum contribute to a narrow interpretation of Islam? Our guest, Dr. Hassan Abbas, Professor of International Relations at the Near East South Asia (NESA) Center in Washington, DC, and WAEN board member delves into these pressing questions, revealing the impact of male-dominated madrassas on attitudes toward women and societal control.
