Contemporary Conversations in Christianity: Christianity and Women [Goodson Chapel]

Duke's Forum for Scholars and Publics welcomes Beth Allison Barr, Ph.D., for a conversation about Christianity and women.

*** This event is being held in Goodson Chapel in the Divinity School's Westbrook Building. ***

In addition to her academic research on women and religion in medieval and early modern England, Professor Barr is a highly sought-after public scholar. She has contributed to such outlets as The Washington Post, Christianity Today, The Dallas Morning News, and Sojourners, and her work has been featured by NPR and The New Yorker. Her most recent book, The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth (2021), was a USA Today and Publisher's Weekly best seller and a 2022 Christianity Today book award finalist.

Professor Barr will be in conversation with Elizabeth Schrader Polczer, doctoral candidate in Religious Studies at Duke and the 2022-23 Anne Firor Scott Public Scholarship Fellow. This is the second in Schrader's four-part series, "Contemporary Conversations in Christianity."
