AAR's Queer Studies in Religion and Religion and Sexuality Units and SBL's Latino/a/e and Latin American Biblical Interpretation, Reading, Theory, and the Bible, Utopian Studies, Islands, Islanders, and Scriptures

For a potential co-sponsored session with the Queer Studies in Religion Unit, Religion and Sexuality Unit, and, from the Society of Biblical Literature, Latina/o/e and Latin American Biblical Interpretation; Contextual Hermeneutics; Reading, Theory, and the Bible; and Utopian Studies, we invite papers that consider the impact and influence of the work of the late queer performance theorist José Esteban Muñoz on the study of religion and sexuality, especially since 2024 is the 25th anniversary of the publication of Disidentifications. Even so, we welcome attention to any facet of Muñoz’s work. We invite papers which engage with a variety of diverse creative genres, religions, and conceptualizations of ‘performance,' 'utopia,' or 'sense(s) of brown.’
