We invite applications for a two-day workshop on patriarchy and political theology. What can scholars of political theology learn from gender studies? Why has political theology been so resistant to addressing questions of sex\, gender\, and sexuality in any serious way? Are there any intersections between queer feminist criticism and political theology\, and what would it look like if the two methods were brought together? This workshop will gather a selected group of scholars for two days of focused engagement around the above themes\, with the hope that new methods for thinking about and beyond patriarchy and political theology will emerge.

Untenured scholars\, alt-academics\, and graduate students who have advanced to candidacy are welcome to apply. We are looking for participants coming from a variety of disciplinary perspectives\, including religious studies\, political philosophy\, women&rsquo\;s and gender studies\, LGBT studies\, ethnic studies\, anthropology\, history\, literature\, and theology. The workshop will be held on the campus of Villanova University\, March 30-31\, 2019. Travel and accommodation costs for selected participants will be covered\; support for childcare will be available.

We are particularly interested in applications that move outside the usual boundaries of political theology. To apply\, please send a one-page description (up to 300 words) of a question that a workshop of this kind should or could investigate\, a list of 3-5 key texts that inform your thinking around these issues\, and a CV of no more than two pages. Applications are due by October 30\; selections will be made by late November.

Please send application materials or questions to Linn Tonstad (linn.tonstad@yale.edu) and \;Vincent \;Lloyd (vincent.lloyd@villanova.edu).

Sponsored by the Villanova Political Theology Project and the Political Theology Network.
