Critical Convocations: Gender, Religion and Politics

Join Dr Hakan Sandal-Wilson for a brand-new interdisciplinary seminar series exploring the intersections of gender, religion and politics.

Critical Convocations promotes engagement with questions of faith, belonging, power and public life, from everyday social life to national and global affairs. Bringing together scholars, practitioners, artists and writers across academic seminars, field visits and literary gatherings, the series creates a space for dialogue on the ways religion is lived, negotiated and reimagined through the lens of gender and sexuality.
