Interreligious and Interfaith Studies Unit and Lesbian-Feminisms and Religion Unit

Agile Boundaries

The Lesbian-Feminisms and Religion Unit and the Interreligious Studies and Interfaith Studies Unit invite papers or panel proposals that explore intersections of gender, sexuality, and interreligious methodologies. Both units consistently engage the confluences of identity and boundaries in a diverse, pluralistic world. The boundaries of religious traditions and the contours of sexual identities shape the ways we construct similarity and difference. These constructions, in turn, shape cultural and religious norms that discipline how we relate to ourselves and others.
