Stating and Unstating: Winnifred Fallers Sullivan’s Contributions to the Study of Law and Religion

This roundtable session reflects on how the study of law and religion has been changed by the contributions of Winnifred Fallers Sullivan, who, close to thirty years ago, co-founded what is now the Law, Religion, and Culture program unit. Throughout her richly collaborative career, she has disrupted the terms we use to talk about these subjects and has helped scholars of law and religion to establish new grammars with which to think about collectivity, subjectivity, and political theology. This roundtable, then, assembles scholars from an array of fields whose collective work spans diverse geographies, methods, and conceptual groundings to acknowledge Sullivan’s work as a colleague, collaborator, and interlocutor, and, with her, to imagine where next the field might go.
