Roundtable Session In-person November Annual Meeting 2026

Presente: Futuring Latina Scholarship, Teaching, and Leadership

Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

This session centers the legacy of Latina theologies—received as a living tradition that reinterprets the present and imagines the future of faith; recontextualizes theological inheritances to confront race, colonialism, and the everyday realities of marginalized communities; and subverts hegemonic memories by amplifying silenced stories for collective empowerment. We ask: How have Latina experiences been reflected in the academy? How do we orient toward the future amid critical reconfigurations in religious studies?
