##  Profile

 Giovanna Parmigiani is an anthropologist of religion and a scholar of Contemporary Paganisms. Her work is firmly grounded in ethnographic and auto-ethnographic practices, and her primary interests are the relationships between religion, politics, and gender. Her first monograph, *[Feminism, Violence and Representation in Modern Italy: “We Are Witnesses, Not Victims”](https://iupress.org/9780253043382/feminism-violence-and-representation-in-modern-italy/)* (Indiana University Press, 2019) dealt with violence against women, and her second, *[The Spider Dance: Tradition, Time, and Healing in Southern Italy](https://www.equinoxpub.com/projects/the-spider-dance)* (Equinox Publishing, forthcoming) with contemporary Pagan women and healing.

 At HDS, Dr. Parmigiani teaches courses on Contemporary Paganisms, Earth-Based Religions, New Age Spiritualities, the Anthropology of Magic, and Religion and Healing.
