Across all societies where religiosity has been measured, more women than men are religious. Yet, women remain curiously absent from much of public religion.
Understanding of religion in the public sphere is highly skewed toward male perspectives. "Turning the Tables on Religion" offers a new positive vision and practice for public religion by bringing women to the existing table of discussion around issues of ongoing importance to traditional public religion--such as religion and politics--and involve men in a broader range of discussions about gender.
This project has culminated in the creation of the Religion Unmuted podcast.
