The history of feminist theology in the academy: An autoethnographic research journey

Abstract

This chapter charts the history of 30 years of study, research and teaching in feminist theology in the UK. It links developments in curriculum and pedagogy to the theoretical and political changes that occurred within feminist thought and practice during that period. It draws strong connections between educational developments and cultural change and shows how thinking about ethnicity, sexuality and intersectionality was mirrored in theological work. The chapter is structured around an autoethnographic account of the author’s own practice as an engaged feminist theological educator.
