The Women’s Studies in Religion Program (WSRP) was founded to explore the fundamental role played by religious traditions in defining roles for women and men. Research on religion and gender sheds light on questions about the changing roles of women both inside religious communities and in broader public spheres. It examines the sources of cultural beliefs about leadership, authority, and values, and offers resources to change them.
The Program’s goal is the production of new primary research addressing these issues and the dispersal of that information through courses, publications, and public programs.
