Women of Color Scholarship, Teaching, and Activism |
Call for ProposalsScholarship, teaching, and activism are the foci that tie together this year’s call for papers for this Group. We invite papers and panel proposals on the following topics:
MissionThis Group fosters intellectual exchange in the fields of religious studies and theology as they are developing in diverse communities of color from a gendered analysis. While the AAR features Program Units from diverse communities of color, we provide a space for conversation between communities of color. This Group does not assume a prior “women of color” identity, but centers a woman of color analytic that deconstructs the intersecting logics of gender and race. At the same time, we do not hold to a “post-identity” framework and are also concerned with the status of women of color in the academy, the politics of pedagogy, and the relationship between women-of-color-centered activism and scholarship. Understanding identity as performative and shifting, we make the very category of “women of color” itself a site for political and intellectual engagement. Anonymity of Review ProcessProposals are anonymous to Chairs and steering committee members at all times.
