Women have been historically excluded from and marginalized within religious spaces. This event brings together scholars who have carried out research on women in religious movements and communities connected to Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. It sheds light on how women experience, and shape, religious spaces connected to these major world religions, and the central, empowering role that food-sharing plays in these spaces. During the first part of the event (5:30-6:30pm), each scholar will share some reflections.
At 6:30pm a spread of foods will be shared with attendees.
Featuring presentations on:
Uplifting the voices of Women in Muslim Religious Spaces by Imaan Dawood
Loaded Bagels: Why interfaith food-sharing is a serious business by Peach Hoyle
Fainting, Fasting, Feasting: Prophetic Women in the 17th Century by Tanya Kundu
