Fatimah Alasiri Oral History Interview  MC6400 Because of this oral history interview will be a part of archive collections, I kept the original answers by the interviewee. Oral History Analysis 1.How did you approach this exercise? Did you have a list of questions? Why or why not? I approached this intensive attention because all the details by the interviewee will be important. Yes, I had several questions which are included in the transcript and the interviewer must prepare for the questions which fit with the time or sometime more than the time expected          2. What was most difficult part of this assignment for you? The most difficult parts were to find available time for both the interviewer and interviewee and to write the interview’s transcript. I reviewed the transcript three times as well as using the digital recorder text. I noted in the transcript that the interviewer is a speaker of English as a second language, so in case of errors, go back to the oral interview recording. 3. Would you change anything the next time you interview someone? If I changed anything, I would hold the interview at more suitable time; also, I would make some of the same questions more focusing on the personal experience.   4. Summarize and synthesize what you learned from the interview (approximately 4 pages). You will include your analysis here.

Categories: Violence against women, Women and media, Liberal perspectives feminism and women movement, Changes in women studies, Women rights  Violence against women: “Violence agonist women is a continual problem and the degree more races based against women than others. It happens of all ages, races classes and everywhere. Also, violence happens to women of all different kinds of shape, racism and style and the simple fact is women are killed in huge numbers every year. Without interest one could note that beyond just the simple fact of concerns with women equality and women concerns issue violence against women of things the idea of bringing in missions open various on certain intersectional positions as created the opportunity for a wider range of interesting in the field a lot more and allowed for a coalition of interests stop certainly help a political legend on one hand and also create a situation where people can learn more about the diversity of focus who are in particular area. However, there is no relationship between women appearance and encouraging violence because the person who ever perpetrating violence it has nothing to do with what the women do everything whether or not somebody can control themselves or not or it feels compelled to in some way dominate another human being”. Women and media: “It could be fact that media affects on women image because it is obvious that the roles for women in an acting and theatre and in television and film more often than not. White women more often than not, young women more often than not, women whose bodies accord with societal standards of beauty people are going to get to past by the way not to have very long Fatimah Alasiri Oral History Interview  MC6400 Because of this oral history interview will be a part of archive collections, I kept the original answers by the interviewee. careers because as soon as they reach a certain age will no longer getting roles so that also perpetuates a kind of encouraging people to devalue women suppose it doesn't and some it goes”. Liberal perspectives feminism, and women movements:  “When the midst of 2nd wave feminism  began 40 years ago that doesn't take account of the differences certainly a lot of critique a has been levelled and communism for the sort of wide liberal perspective that principle of origins of that particular position and so now hopefully it has brought in to some extent to be much more inclusive about from wide range of cultures, wide range background and wider range of interest in and races and to allow for the fabric of all of those that diversity to in some way we've into a tapestry that is not just disparate but that actually has occasion. Young women today disavow the use of the word feminism or as a feminist more often than not they don't want to claim that and that's because that word for some reasons has been tarred with some sort of negativity that isn't being a feminist is to be somehow male hating and it's the idea that the personal is political has kind of backfired on terms because a lot of times when we talk about being a feminist we are talking about being political person about a societal  in Justice that does not necessarily mean that you are going to have a personal relationship that therefore anti-male”.  “It can be pointed a lot of things, right, and say what are men doing? Who is out there fighting and parakiting, and hurting people?  who is doing the predominant amount of violence not just against women but against everybody? It is not woman doing but really man more often than not doing these things. We need to be inclusive about man we agreed that but in the same time let’s be clear there is still for feminism, there is still a need to write in justice. Let's face it Fatimah Alasiri Oral History Interview  MC6400 Because of this oral history interview will be a part of archive collections, I kept the original answers by the interviewee. we've never passed and equal rights of them it's as if we're too afraid to do that because there's all kinds of injustices”. “It's clear that oddly women's liberation the couple of scare has no come out of the kitchen it's no longer under staying home and been attending to their kids in the home so that their out while longer just relegated to go to the domestic sphere what's happened is that while they're out into the public sphere working and it you know everyone knows that you can't raise a family on a single income anymore so that requires that women work so it's become expedient women to work in a time to have to work but that doesn't mean that they're not also having to do all of the other kinds of domestic labour that they traditionally done. While women are allowed to work again, that's more of a kind of economic necessity rather than a sort of liberal idea or aggressive idea about where women should be. Younger feminist would add in this sub today who people who disavow the term feminist but who are nevertheless kind of feminist and her think it right to be called Feminist but they all for equality and they all for rights injustice as women face that means feminist even if they don’t use the term so if that the case then maybe we are the point when call attention to that in a way people can start to say that really is not mean for us to embrace this term”.   Changes in Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies: Ways, Purpose and Population: “Women studies program has changed a great deal. Obviously, one of the biggest changes that one can notice obvious shift from just women’s studies to concern genders sexuality as well. In addition, it certainly serves the same purpose in one sense which is that critical position in the sense of you know the place of women's gender and sexuality studies is very much about calling attention to the societal, systematic and politics personal and personal politics Fatimah Alasiri Oral History Interview  MC6400 Because of this oral history interview will be a part of archive collections, I kept the original answers by the interviewee. more systemic women genders and sexuality studies becomes very much about calling attention to the societal, systematic and personal politics. Political nation is sort of very important part of the women gender and sexuality studies on the program because it points to those who inequities and appointed in politics and really try to create a counter narrative for them in a sense to in defer to correct and to shape the rights of our nation with those expected perspectives in view and that's remains a very much important strength of women studies and women and sexuality studies. Women’s and Gender and Sexuality Studies does not still serve the same population especially gender and sexuality studies right. It's obviously in and particularly with for more public presentation of focus who consider themselves transsexual so that not excluding men and heterosexual. It is still considered all spices of one’s genuine sexuality. It's not just women and it's not just sexuality of all stripes and also to also female to male transsexuals and so all of this diversity is so why does that the preview of hugely”.  Women rights:     “There are some things that have evolved in women rights and that are continuing to change. Some of the title 9 policies have really made things better for women in particular as well as issues about sexual harassment in the workplace. People need really to raise their consciousness about the pervasiveness of sexual assault sexual harassment that prevails against predominantly women you know obviously also to some men too that isn’t to disavow their body just appoint out the large numbers goes from male to female”.  “Women should be allowed to work condition is because they were over this is going to be good for the economy, so it's always boils down to money am level that is the real thing that makes things change so if you have people who really are and economical edge and society as women are we should use that power in ways to really foment change problem is that look what Fatimah Alasiri Oral History Interview  MC6400 Because of this oral history interview will be a part of archive collections, I kept the original answers by the interviewee. happened in the most recent. In United States election 53% of all women voters voted for Donald Trump and the diversity of opinion about what is good for women this not come out it's not coherent across woman”.
