Notable Achievements

Assistant Professor of Sociology Amanda Hernandez published “Intersections of Religion, Race, and Feminism With a Progressive Politic” with Tess Starman of Molloy University in Critical Research on Religion. This research asks if women who identify as Christian feminists have more “progressive” stances on social issues than Christian women who do not identify as feminist. Their analysis reveals the ways that specific Christian denomination and racial/ethnic identity shape the relationship between feminism and support for progressive issues.
