Towards a Qur'anic Hermeneutics of Social Justice: Race, Class and Gender |
12 Journal of Law and Religion 37 (1995-1996) |
From the onset, one must dispel the idea that addressing gender issues or referring to women and woman is marginal to larger considerations of civil society and current global dynamics. Double standards with regard to images and treatment of women are indicators of distorted visions of social justice. Without remorse, women are often consigned...; Search Snippet: ...Towards a Qur'anic Hermeneutics of Social Justice: Race, Class and Gender Amina Wadud [Fna] Copyright (C) 1995-1996 Hamline University; Amina... |

When Ignorance Is Not Bliss: in Search of Racial and Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics |

In popular American parlance, we commonly refer to an athlete as a jock. The Random House Unabridged Dictionary notes that the formal definition of jock is a jockstrap. The informal definition, in turn, is an athlete. Using the term jock to describe an athlete certainly has sexist, and perhaps even racial, implications.
