About FSR

Feminist Studies in Religion, Inc. (FSR, Inc.) is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to foster feminist studies in religion in all of its variety and diversity. We understand "feminist studies in religion" to encompass global critical feminist work in religious studies, theology, theology, and spirituality both inside and outside the academy and at the grassroots level. We seek to generate new feminist scholarship in religion and to create spaces for such scholarship to emerge. Founded in 1983, FSR, Inc. pioneered the development of feminist studies in religion as a field through its establishment and sponsorship of the Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion.

More recently, we have broadened our work beyond publishing to providing other contexts and spaces in which feminists can come together to explore and develop new initiatives such as sponsoring events and the Feminist in Religion Forum.
