Abstract	:	This thesis explores the variety of ways in which women engage in musical activities in two North American Sufi communities that fall under the broad umbrella of the Halveti-Jerrahi tarika. Using frameworks of postcolonial feminism and glocality as jumping-off points, I begin to unravel the complex ways that global structures are interpreted by, and filter through, local organizations and actors such as spiritual teachers and leaders, lobby groups, networks of cultural and religious communities and organizations, and individual dervishes and musicians. Special areas of focus are the Jerrahi zikr ritual, and women's music-making activities both inside and out of sacred spaces known as dergahs. Ultimately, members of both communities are in constant negotiation with gendered expectations and conventions tied to musical experiences.
