Gender, Sexuality, and Religion: Exploring Intersectionality in the Humanities

Abstract

Gender, Sexuality, and Religion: Exploring Intersectionality in the Humanities" delves into the multifaceted interplay among gender, sexuality, and religious identities within the realm of the humanities. Intersectionality, a framework that acknowledges the interconnectedness of various social identities and systems of oppression, serves as the lens through which these complex dynamics are examined. This interdisciplinary exploration traverses historical, cultural, and philosophical landscapes, unraveling the intricate relationships between gender, sexuality, and religion across different contexts and time periods. Through critical analysis and scholarly inquiry, this work illuminates the ways in which gendered and sexual identities intersect with religious beliefs and practices, shaping individuals' experiences, social structures, and power dynamics. By interrogating the intersections of these fundamental aspects of human identity, this inquiry contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in the human experience and underscores the importance of embracing diversity and inclusivity within academic discourse and societal frameworks.
