The Spaces In-Between: Conversations on Feminism, Sexuality, and Identity 

By exploring themes such as women's sexuality, identity, and the hijab as a metaphor, Sabyn Javeri discusses her work, including her acclaimed book, Hijabistan (Harper Collins: 2019), and confronts cultural and gender stereotypes while examining the nuanced experiences of South Asian Muslim women. This conversation, situated at the crossroads of literature, feminism, and cultural identity, offers valuable insights for readers, writers, and scholars interested in the intersections between writing and research, fostering a deeper understanding of complex narratives and encouraging the reimagining of cultural perspectives.
