Religion and theology can contribute to cultures of sexism, exclusion and violence. Faith communities can also offer an important counterpoint, providing resources, practices, and communities dedicated to inclusion, justice, and healing. Recent research suggests that Christian theologies that advocate men’s headship and women’s submission can contribute to cultures of violence. Yet, National Church Life Survey data demonstrates that Australian church leadership remains predominantly male, and religion is often left unexamined in social research on gender, gendered norms, and gendered violence.

To better understand the dynamic relationship between theology, culture and gendered violence, this interdisciplinary conference, hosted by The Wesley Centre, will consider a range of questions, such as:

How is theology implicated in maintaining sexism, gender inequality, and violence?

Which religious resources support or undermine patterns of thinking that lead to gendered violence?

How do gendered violence, colonial violence, and theology intersect?

What are the challenges and opportunities presented by doing theology on Aboriginal land and in multicultural settings?
