ETHNOGRAPHIC ANALYSES OF RACE, CLASS, GENDER, SEXUALITY & RELIGION is an edited volume devoted to exploring the intersections of race, class, gender and sexuality in religious settings. Both empirical and theoretical manuscripts are being sought that address religion from an ethnographic perspective. In particular, manuscripts falling into one or several of the following three categories will be given priority:


1. Intersectional analysis of Christian congregations in the United States, including
a. Multiracial congregations and pastorate
b. Race, class, gender intersections in congregations that are predominated by one race
c. Analyses of immigrant experiences in U.S. churches that consider the intersectionality of race, class, gender and nation
d. Analyses of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and transgendered experiences in U.S. churches

2. Political participation in U.S. churches that considers the intersection of race, class, gender & sexuality

3. Analysis of relationships between U.S. denominations and their congregations or missions work abroad that incorporate an intersectional analysis

Electronic versions of manuscripts (MS Word) should be sent directly to Sandra Weissinger at the following email address: weissing@illinois.edu by 31 December 2009.
