Lesbian-Feminist Issues and Religion |
Call for ProposalsThis Group invites papers and complete panels that treat theoretical, methodological, and/or practical dimensions of the following themes:
MissionFor over fifteen years, this Group has been exploring the multiple dimensions of lesbian interaction with religion. The development and/or confrontation of lesbian/feminist mythologies and histories in diverse religious and spiritual movements are theorized and debated, as are the identity and visibility of women’s sexuality in religious and other cultural arenas. Contemporary concerns, including the interplay of religious and political rhetoric in determining the social inclusion or marginalization of lesbians and all queers, are also addressed in our sessions. Issues pertaining to social categories of race, class, and gender are central to our analyses. In these ways, we serve as a critical forum for expanding debate on how religious and lesbian categories conceptualize and influence one another.
