By Whose Standards? Religious Fundamentalism, Gender Equality and Cross-Cultural Differences

Istratii, Romina

Abstract

Dr Romina Istratii reflects on a presentation that she recently gave at the Woolf Institute, which drew attention to the epistemological, ethical and practical limitations of deploying 'religious fundamentalism', a concept deeply imbricated in western modern history, when analysing gender issues in non-western religious cosmologies and contexts.
