Christian Women at University
University is a unique time of change and development, including in faith. Christian Women at University takes seriously the ordinary experiences, faith lives and intersectional identities of women studying away from home. Women encounter complex barriers to feeling at home, including sexism, conservative theologies, mental ill-health, homesickness, and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. These factors intersect with students’ marginalized identities, including their race, sexuality and class. As Christians, their churches, chaplaincies and student Christian societies are important spaces for belonging and making friends, helping them grow in faith. This book uncovers the resources and strategies that Christian women employ in trying to feel at home at university.

Secular Societies, Spiritual Selves?
Secular Societies, Spiritual Selves? is the first volume to address the gendered intersections of religion, spirituality and the secular through an ethnographic approach. The book examines how ‘spirituality’ has emerged as a relatively ‘silent’ category with which people often signal that they are looking for a way to navigate between the categories of the religious and the secular, and considers how this is related to gendered ways of being and relating. Using a lived religion approach the contributors analyse the intersections between spirituality, religion and secularism in different geographical areas, ranging from the Netherlands, Portugal and Italy to Canada, the United States and Mexico. The chapters explore the spiritual experiences of women and their struggle for a more gender equal way of approaching the divine, as well as the experience of men and of those who challenge binary sexual identities advocating for a queer spirituality. This volume will be of interest to anthropologists and sociologists as well as scholars in other disciplines who seek to understand the role of spirituality in creating the complex gendered dynamics of modern societies.
The Quaker Condition
This book focuses primarily on what we have termed the â ~Quaker Conditionâ (TM). It looks sociologically at the condition of present-day British Quakerism.

Second, the book focuses largely on British Quakerism and so enriches the pool of resources relating to the sociology of British religion and...
