We are using this idea in its broadest terms. We are hoping to encompass through the different Units racism, feminism, womanism, eco-justice, gender justice, classism, neo-colonialism, etc. seen through the eyes of religious scholars.We are living in a world that has embraced technology/science, neglected mythos and uses religion as a front for all the “isms” that foster inequality in the world.How does your research unearth a path to sanity? What have you discovered from the past that would be helpful? What are you exploring/inventing for the future?
