Project description

The main question is how women’s interreligious and intercultural dialogue in grassroots activism and civil projects in Belgium and the Netherlands can contribute to resolving the tension between gender equality and cultural diversity in liberal secular society. It draws on an empirical study of women’s interfaith meetings employing standpoint epistemology and intersectional theory.
