Final Year Project
Project Title
Alternative Ontology: Move Away from Gender
Description
My project aims to explore ways to move beyond the gendered normativities prevalent in our society, particularly those that stem from hyper-masculine gaze. I propose to use Luce Irigaray's Ethics of Sexual Difference as our focal point while centering our discussions around Persianate and South Asian ethics and works of philosophy.
