Live webcast of keynote speaker
Homi Bhabha, Today at 5pm EST
Welcome to the web site of the forthcoming conference at Yale University.
This international, interdisciplinary conference is set to examine
how religious and gender identities arise and develop in relation
to one another in the context of globalization. Thirteen internationally-recognized
scholars, authors, artists and film-makers have been invited to
address the conference's theme by reflecting on the bodily practices
of migrants in both refugee situations and immigrant populations
in Europe and the U.S.A.
In today's globalized world, the role of national identity is undergoing
radical change and so choosing migrant-contexts as our focus will
allow for many aspects of globalization's effects on sexual and
religious identity-formation to be studied, analyzed and interpreted.
The conference will span a four-day period and produce an edited
volume of essays addressing religion, sexuality, and globalization.
We look forward to having you join us in September!
