Declining or Waning
- Classical Islamic Literature:
Research centered on classical Islamic texts and their interpretations, while still present, appears to be waning as scholars increasingly focus on contemporary issues and lived experiences of women. - Historical Figures in Isolation:
The focus on individual historical figures, such as Tahirih Qurrat al-'Ayn, is becoming less prominent, with a shift towards broader societal analyses rather than isolated case studies. - Traditional Gender Roles:
Themes exploring traditional gender roles in historical contexts are less frequently addressed, as the journal moves towards discussions of gender fluidity and contemporary challenges. - Static Legal Frameworks:
Research that solely examines static legal frameworks without considering the dynamic interactions between law, culture, and individual experiences is diminishing. - Regional Specificity without Global Context:
Papers focusing exclusively on specific regional traditions without connecting them to global feminist movements or theories are becoming less common.
