Options For Rural Sustainable Development: An Examination Of Solar Energy In Morocco, Wynne Mcauley
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
This Independent Study Project is about on the current situation of energy in Morocco, especially in terms of the electrification of rural villages, as a means of understanding the potential of the country for developing renewable energy methods. It examines major energy companies and renewable energy organizations, as well as the experiences of solar energy technicians and rural development associations in their efforts to bring electricity to rural Moroccan villages. It also focuses on case studies of a few remote towns and the problems they face as they attempt to bring electricity to their homes.

The End Of The Line: Understanding The Morocco-Algeria Border, Katherine Solberg
The End Of The Line: Understanding The Morocco-Algeria Border, Katherine Solberg
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
The land border between Morocco and Algeria has gone through cycles of closure and opening over the past decades. This project set out to examine how the closed border has affected the lives of individuals in border towns, specifically Figuig. It explores the border’s effect on Figuig’s economy, smuggling, healthcare, land ownership, and familial relations. Through interviews, archival research, and participant observation, I found that none of these areas has been affected positively by the current border situation, but that there is no concrete solution in sight to fix the problems the closed border creates.

Khal: An Exploration Of The Language Around Blackness In Morocco, Rachel Leigh Johnson
Khal: An Exploration Of The Language Around Blackness In Morocco, Rachel Leigh Johnson
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Morocco has been described as a melting pot. While various ethnicities, religious beliefs, and languages merge and intermingle within the country, the language in the majority of Moroccan homes is Darijaa. The language itself is a mixture of the Amazigh language and classical and popular Arabic with some European elements. Additionally, Darijaa is the language through which the majority of Moroccans have come to understand the world and the people around them. It is also through this language that I will explore conceptions of blackness and black identity in Morocco. Through evaluating the words for “black” in Darijaa, I hope …

Mediation In Morocco: Current Uses And Future Possibilities, Rachel Markowitz
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
As the world is searching for more effective methods and implementation of conflict resolution, it becomes increasingly important to consider the traditional uses of mediation and current efforts at training in communities, organizations, and the government. The purpose of this case study is to describe the role of mediation as a form of conflict resolution for several groups in Morocco as well as to analyze the prospect for more effective formal mediation in the future through training mechanisms from observations and interviews with current and future leaders throughout Morocco.
Interpreting Their Blood: The Contradictions Of Approaches To Menstruation Through Religious Education, Ritual And Culture In Rabat, Morocco, Nitzan Ziv
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Menstruation is often perceived by individuals of different cultural and religious backgrounds as dirty or impure, and therefore has become a demeaning feature of womanhood. The dialectical concepts of purity and impurity are integral parts of Islamic religion, thought and practice as they draw lines between those things sacred and those profane. Women’s religious education, in particular, is critical in establishing positive reinforcement for their perceptions of their physical selves and their role in society. However, education in this manner cannot be limited to schools and religious institutions; family and culture are integral parts of a women’s education about subjects …
Maternity, Sexuality, And Capability: An Exploration Of The Aesthetics Of The Rural Moroccan Female Body, Carlye Warren
Maternity, Sexuality, And Capability: An Exploration Of The Aesthetics Of The Rural Moroccan Female Body, Carlye Warren
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
This paper provides an intimate look at the rural female body and its nuances – aesthetics, self-perception, sexuality, maternity, and purity. Based on this research conducted in the rural village of Loutichina, it seems apparent that almost unrealistic demands are traditionally made on the rural female body, most noticeably the demands of reproduction and physical labor. Local perceptions and attitudes towards maternity and sexuality are also explored, as is the way in which the rural female body undergoes basic biological changes and cycles and is simultaneously affected by surrounding social and cultural pressures. Ethically, I was confronted with issues of …
Good Morning, Africa! (Dreams And Identity In Morocco), Chantal James
Good Morning, Africa! (Dreams And Identity In Morocco), Chantal James
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
This is an exploration of identity using dreams in the Moroccan context. I formally spoke to around twenty-five Moroccans for my research and spoke briefly or casually about the subject of dreams with many more, almost everyone I became friendly with. I give no personal information about the people who spoke to me without their consent, and I give all credit where it’s due, I hope. I set out from Rabat on the 10:30 train to Marrakesh, to spend my three weeks there. I kept a copy of Dreams, a collected works of Jung, by my side. I kept copious …
