Call for papers to international, interdisciplinary conference on gender
and religion taking place at the University of Copenhagen Oct. 27-28, 2006.

How has gender been used and misused in religious revivals? How do ideas
about religion, gender, and equality influence power relations locally
and around the globe? What are the implications of understanding gender
and religion as constructed and as sites for conceptual and practical
conflicts about meaning? How and where have gender and sexuality
constituted sites for negotiations and conflicts within or between
religious communities and commitments?

The conference aims at bridging gender and religious studies and at
reflection of both current and historical perspectives. It seeks to
enhance interdisciplinary exchange and to create a space for exchange
across research specialisations. Every scholar interested in framing his
or her contribution in relation to the themes of the conference is
invited to submit a paper or to suggest a workshop.
