The project \u2018Interdisciplinary Innovations in the Study of Religion and Gender: Postcolonial, Post-secular and Queer Perspectives\u2019, which ran from 2012-2015, was\u00a0an international research and networking project. It has been initiated\u00a0and coordinated by Prof. Anne-Marie Korte as chair of Religion, Gender and Modernity at the Faculty of Humanities, Utrecht University (the Netherlands) \u00a0and has brought together international research institutes and participants from throughout the field.\u00a0 The project was\u00a0funded by the Netherlands Organisation of Scientific Research (NWO) in the programme Internationalisation in the Humanities.<\/p>\n
This project aimed to make\u00a0an innovative contribution to the further development of the interdisciplinary study of religion and gender from a range of contemporary critical perspectives in the humanities: postcolonial criticism, post-secularism and queer theory. In order to break new grounds in the understanding of these complex dynamics of religion and gender in our contemporary world, this research cooperation project explored\u00a0the current major challenges to the study of religion and gender, to identify the fundamental critical issues, and to address these in innovative ways and from an interdisciplinary perspective. To this end the project has brought\u00a0together a selection of leading scholars from internationally renowned research institutions with excellent programs in the field with the objective of developing research project proposals and grant applications and establishing a structural research network for the study of religion and gender. As part of the project, three workshop-conferences have been organized, each resulting in a special issue of the journal Religion and Gender.<\/p>\n
Outcomes of this project have been published by various participants in international journals as well as in further research proposals. This project has resulted in the founding of the International Association for the Study of Religion and Gender (IARG)<\/a> in February 2015 and the establishment of the journal of Religion and Gender.<\/a><\/p>\n Barnard College, Barnard Center for Research on Women<\/a>\u00a0(New York, USA) University of London, School of Oriental and African Studies, Centre for Gender and Religions Research<\/a> (UK) University of Oslo, Centre for Gender Research<\/a> (Norway) Ghent University, Centre for Intercultural Communication and Interaction<\/a>(Belgium) Humboldt University, Centre for Transdisciplinary Gender Studies<\/a> (Berlin, Germany) University of Helsinki \/ Abo Akademi, Centre of excellence in research<\/a> Radboud University, Institute for Gender Studies<\/a> (Nijmegen, Netherlands) University of Lancaster, Religion & Society Programme<\/a> (UK) The project \u2018Interdisciplinary Innovations in the Study of Religion and Gender: Postcolonial, Post-secular and Queer Perspectives\u2019, which ran from 2012-2015, was\u00a0an international research and networking project.
