Critiques Of Christianity From Savarkar To Malhotra, Chad Bauman
Critiques Of Christianity From Savarkar To Malhotra, Chad Bauman
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Featured in this chapter are a number of prominent Indian critics of evangelism and conversion to Christianity over roughly the last one hundred years. After briefly covering early twentieth-century figures like Savarkar, Hedgewar, and Golwalkar, the chapter focuses primarily on postcolonial leaders of the last few decades, especially Mohandas Gandhi (who survived just barely into the “postcolonial” era), Ram Swarup, Sita Ram Goel, Arun Shourie, Ashok Chowgule, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, and Radha Rajan. Finally, at the end, to demonstrate the multinational scope of these polemics, I briefly discuss the views of the Hindu American Foundation and Rajiv Malhotra. It is …

“I Want To Love Islam, I Really Do, But . . . ”: Islamophilic Classrooms In Islamophobic Times, Nermeen Mouftah
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
This essay reflects on a critical incident that occurred during a seminar discussion about the age of Aishah at the time of her marriage to the prophet Muhammed. I take students’ discomfort with the material and their expression of emotions—especially their desire to love Islam—as an opening to think about the opportunities and challenges of working with students’ emotions in the classroom. I begin by problematizing love (or the want of it) as an Islamophilic response to students’ awareness of the dangers of Islamophobia. I then go on to entertain the possibility of embracing love as a ‘productive’ emotion that …

Making Space For Mothering: Collaboration As Feminist Practice, Julie Searcy, Angela N. Castañeda
Making Space For Mothering: Collaboration As Feminist Practice, Julie Searcy, Angela N. Castañeda
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Our collaborative practice spans nearly a decade working together on data collection, writing, presentations, and publications as we’ve explored the intimate care that doulas provide to women in labor. In this essay, we use intimate labor as both a practice and a theoretical frame to think of collaboration as a feminist project that recognizes the expertise gathered from mothering and makes space for it in academia. Eileen Boris and Rhacel Salazar Parreñas (2010, 7) define intimate labor as “work that involves embodied and affective interactions in the service of social reproduction,” and suggest that it requires “bodily or emotional closeness, …

Faith, Doubt, And Reason - Conclusion And Epilogue, Brent Hege

Courtesy of Wipf and Stock Publishers:
Faith, doubt, and reason are universal human faculties, yet they are frequently misunderstood, denigrated, and even abused. What does it mean to have faith, and what distinguishes faith from belief? Can someone have faith without religious commitments? What is doubt, and what is its relationship to faith and belief? How do we make sense of evil and suffering? What roles does reason play in our lives? What do we do when we have the sneaking suspicion that life is absurd? What do we love, and what do we fear? How do faith, doubt, and …

The Green New Deal: Promise And Limitations, Harry Van Der Linden
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
This review essay discusses three recent books on the Green New Deal (GND), written, respectively, by Naomi Klein, Jeremy Rifkin, and Kate Aronoff and a few other democratic socialists. It argues that the New Deal offers a better model of how to envision the change required for deep carbonization than the vision of war mobilization after Pearl Harbor since it emphasizes not only the need for massive introduction of green technology but also the importance of broad social change constituting a just transition. The essay argues that the GND should be placed in a global context so that the adoption …

Berta Vive": Solidaridades Transnacionales Y Luchas Interseccionales En Honduras, Irune Del Río Gabiola
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Desde la destitución de Manuel Zelaya en 2009 por un golpe de estado y los subsiguientes gobiernos, Honduras ha experimentado altos niveles de violencia e impunidad gubernamental intensificados por la persecución y aniquilación de periodistas, profesores, abogados, feministas y activistas medioambientales como Berta Cáceres. Sin embargo, a partir de este momento, la resistencia se ha fortalecido mediante la transnacionalización e interseccionalidad de luchas solidarias en busca de la justicia social y de alternativas vitales a las políticas de muerte instauradas por los gobiernos conservadores. En este sentido, me propongo analizar la importancia de la solidaridad como herramienta de descolonización y …

A Palimpsestuous Writing: Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, Xiaoqing Liu
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior is one of the most successful Asian American literary works. Rather than reading the book as an autobiography of an Asian American girl growing up in Chinatown in America, I view it as a multifarious telling and writing of the stories of Asian American women in their interrelated relationships living in both the past and present in their hyphenated lives between China and America. With her palimpsestuous writing strategy, Kingston reexamines what it means to be an Asian American woman. She not only uncovers what is forbidden, hidden, unspoken, wronged, or covered in the …
