The Women’s Studies in Religion Program was founded in 1973 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. Its goal is the production of new primary research addressing these and related issues and the dispersal of that information through courses, publications, and public programs.
