Middle Eastern Studies Program Film Festival Presents: Jasad & The Queen of Contradictions (2012)
“Lebanese poet and writer Joumana Haddad has stirred controversy in the Middle East for having founded “Jasad” (“The Body”), an erotic quarterly Arabic-language magazine. “Jasad” is one of the first of its kind in the Arab world and has caused a big debate not only for its explicit images, articles and essays on sex in Arabic but that an Arab woman is behind it all. Jasadtackles the subject of sexuality in Lebanon, giving insight on the rare use of the Arabic language to discuss these taboo topics. Different views are also given by the head of a women’s rights organization, a sexual health educator and a doctor who performs hymen reconstruction surgeries.”

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
