Abstract
In Middle East Studies, methodological and substantive questions as well as definitions are predominantly discussed and fixed by men. While analysing the manner in which the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is taught at universities in Europe it is worth considering the situation from the perspective of gender as a cross-cutting issue. While ‘how and by which methodological tools’ the MENA is taught in European universities is an essential question, it is also important to focus on ‘who teaches’ in order to understand whether gender has a particular impact or not on teaching and researching the MENA. Based on semi-structured in-depth interviews with female academics from European universities and research centres, this chapter analyses the manner of teaching (definitions, academic materials and methodological tools), fieldwork experiences and specific precarities of female academics working in the field of Middle East Studies.
