Gender Religion And Education In A Chaotic Postmodern World
Book Description
In our rapidly globalizing world, the intersection of faith, identity, and learning creates a complex landscape that demands deeper understanding. This comprehensive exploration examines how religious identity evolves when individuals navigate new cultural contexts, particularly through the lens of educational experiences.
Drawing from fifteen diverse countries and contexts, this scholarly work reveals the intricate ways that globalization and migration reshape how women and men experience their spiritual lives. The authors investigate whether these profound cultural shifts lead to transformed religious identities, new forms of conservatism, or unexpected fundamentalist responses.
The book addresses critical questions about visibility and invisibility in religious practice, examining how bodies and beliefs intersect in educational settings ranging from traditional schools to higher education institutions, religious organizations, and adult literacy programs. Through careful analysis of curricula, textbooks, and learning environments, the research uncovers the contradictions and complexities that emerge when religious and secular worldviews collide.
Rather than offering simple answers, this interdisciplinary study illuminates the nuanced negotiations that girls, boys, women, and men undertake as they balance faith traditions with contemporary realities. The findings reveal multiple pathways for change and adaptation, challenging assumptions about how religious communities respond to modern pressures.
This resource serves educators, policymakers, religious leaders, and researchers seeking to understand the evolving relationship between spiritual identity and educational transformation in our interconnected world.
