Free 2026 Susan Draper White Lecture with Dr. Ellen T. Armour at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities on February 23rd at 6:30pm. There is an option to attend online, or here at the Seminary.
Among the many issues dividing Americans these days is the conflict over how we should understand, see, and treat people whose gender identities break with norms. This is a conflict where religion, gender, and politics come together—familiar terrain for feminist theologians of all types. Central to this conflict is how we see gender (understood intersectionally, of course). Armour draws on insights central to her two most recent books, Signs and Wonders: Theology After Modernity (Columbia University Press, 2016), and Seeing and Believing: Religion, Digital Visual Culture, and Social Justice (Columbia University Press, 2023), as well as her long critical and constructive engagement with feminist and queer theology to diagnose and address this conflict.
Armour is Professor and E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Chair of Feminist Theology at Vanderbilt Divinity School. Her research and teaching interests include theologies and theories of gender, race, sexuality, disability and visual culture as well as continental philosophy. She is the author of numerous articles and three books, and she is also the co-editor of Bodily Citations: Religion and Judith Butler (Columbia University Press, 2006). She has served as the Director of the Carpenter Program in Religion, Gender, and Sexuality since 2007.
