Description:

C. Martin, M. Thie The rising awareness of women's experiences in religious traditions within the last 30 years has deeply revised and enlarged the religious thought, practices, and commitments of women and men alike. This course in contemporary religious thought examines reconstructions of religious meaning and spirituality by feminists from multiple religious and ethnic/racial contexts. Students review the emergence of womanist ("black feminists, feminists of color"), mujerista (Hispanic), and Asian feminist theologies. The course foregrounds notable thinkers who revise established religious traditions and practices (e.g., Jewish, Christian, Islamic), inclusive of radical feminist and/or goddess spiritualities that break with mainstream traditions.
