[Reader-list] Globalization and Spaces for Expression

[Zainab Bawa]

Dear Readers,
Hello! I needed your comments, views and opinions on the following:
(I am currently doing my 1st year of MA in Political Science.) I have a 
paper to present for our upcoming seminar on Globalization and Human Rights. 
I am doing a paper on "Globalization: Spaces for Expression with reference 
to identity."
I was curious to know your perspective. The idea is to examine whether 
Globalization gives us the freedom to be and live our identities whether in 
terms of religion, tribe, nationality or sexual orientation. I am examining 
this to understand whether our right to express our identities is being 
violated or furthered, whether the struggles we are facing due to our 
identities are being facilitated or debilitated because of globalization. I 
am trying to link human rights in terms of our basic freedom of expression.
Through this paper, I am hoping to narrate stories rather than be an 
academician who receives applauds at the end of the presentation. To me, 
this is a critical issue because at least, I am feeling confused in terms of 
expressing my identity as a woman (in the wake of the atrocities committed 
on women in the Gujrat violence) and as a Muslim (who now feels herself 
fearsome whenever she sees a procession with orange flags and truckloads of 
mobs).
I wonder what you feel about the issue.
I would appreciate your comments on this topic as soon as possible and 
suggestions for reference too.
Awaiting your responses.
Best regards,
Zainab
