Office Hours IRL

Who we are

Meet the three sisters.

Three sisters, three very different vantage points — gender and religion scholarship, global people leadership, and workforce operations. Office Hours IRL is where they bring the hard conversations into plain language: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The people behind it

Three sisters, one table.

Dr. Jessica Lee Rehman

Dr. Jessica Lee Rehman

Gender, Sexuality & Religious Studies

Dr. Jessica Lee Rehman is a Lecturer at UC Riverside with appointments in Gender and Sexuality Studies and Religious Studies. She holds a Master’s degree in Religious Studies from Cal State Long Beach, with an emphasis in Women and Islam in South Asia, and a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from UC Riverside with an emphasis in the racialization of religion, violent gender constructions, and global modern discourse.

Drawing on postcolonial and transnational frameworks, her scholarship sits at the intersection of Islamic studies, gender and sexuality, embodiment, genocide studies, and rape scholarship — the topics people need to talk about but often don’t know how to. She is committed to teaching through candid questioning and genuine respect, making complex ideas accessible across generations. She is a fierce advocate for sexual violence prevention and growth through justice driven dialogue at every stage of life.
