Dear Colleagues,
I would like to announce the opening of the Institute for
Thealogy & Deasophy (www.I4TD.org). ITD is a research center
committed to advancing and promoting scholarship and education in the fields of
thealogy and deasophy, and provides a social networking forum where all
adherents, allies, and scholars can come together to engage in dialogue concerning
beliefs and ideas related to feminist spirituality/Goddess spirituality.
We will be hosting biennial conferences, seminar series and educational workshops, various research projects led by our fellows, an awards program, online forums for scholarly collaboration and discussion, and of course scholarly publications via books and our academic journal Goddess Thealogy: An International Journal for the Study of Feminism and Religion. The tri-annual online journal’s first issue will be in April 2011 and all are invited to submit articles at any point. www.I4TD.org
