Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History: Women in American Religion

What role has gender played in U.S. religion? How have scholars wrestled with and written about these concepts and questions? We will examine these questions while paying particular attention to how scholars have written about women and religion over time. We will study the religious experience in various historical periods, contexts, and traditions, highlighting women who have played major roles in religious traditions and experiences. The goal is for students to learn how to participate in academic conversations about religion and gender through primary and secondary sources, and contribute to the academic conversations through their own writing and research. This course is not open to undergraduate students.
