FSR is the sponsoring organization behind JFSR, the Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion. Visit their blog for new fascinating discussions on global critical feminist work in religious studies, theology, theology, and spirituality both inside and outside the academy and at the grassroots level.
In the current conversation, Jennifer Harvey writes:
"I feel aware that “The Academy” often feels like Reality itself to those of us who spend so much time in it. (Every time I hear Mary Hunt speak, she challenges me to remember this.) It’s seductive. Of course, I understand the academy is part of reality: issues of labor, educational access, the ways ideologies impact on structures, all of these and more are reality. But what happens when the academy becomes a thing unto itself? When we believe prophetic speech within its corridors translates easily into social impact?"
These discomforts have fueled my interest in blogging and my desire to push on the term “activist scholar.”
