Border Crossings: 25th Anniversary Conference of the Women's Studies in Religion Program
(February 2006)
Session III: Borders of Race, Religion, and Discipline
The 130 Research Associates who have participated in the Women's Studies in Religion Program have helped create a new field of scholarship shedding light on a host of issues concerning intellectual categories, public policies, and personal understandings. To celebrate the work of both past and future scholars in the program, the 25th Anniversary Conference focused on how their work both complicates and clarifies categories of gender, nation, and disciplinary studies in the context of globalization.
In the final session, prominent authors Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, Karen King, Amy Hollywood, and Michelene Pesantubbee reflected on the reception of the books they worked on as WSRP Research Associates.
"Borders of Race, Religion, and Discipline" highlighted some of the field-changing WSRP projects that have engendered continuing conversations and set the agenda for further research.
