Class Details

What does feminist theory have to offer the study of religion? How have participants in various religious traditions helped to produce and enact feminisms? Feminisms and religion have a long though often troubled history of interconnection. In this course, we shall explore a range of feminist theoretical analyses that have either emerged out of particular religious contexts or have been applied to the study of religious traditions and practices. We shall consider how conflicts within feminism–especially those pertaining to issues of sexuality, race, class, nationality, ethnicity, and religious affiliation–make a difference for the ways that religion is interpreted and practiced.
