This documentary offers audio snapshots of a recent workshop at the University of Leeds, hosted by Shiloh Project co-director Johanna Stiebert. Activities were led by Ann Gleig (Associate Professor of Religion and Cultural Studies, University of Central Florida) and Amy Langenberg (Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Eckerd College, Florida).
Listen to how Ann and Amy, together with participants, consider the strengths and limitations of their disciplines when it comes to researching abuse. They also examine the different ways religious texts justify or challenge abuse, as well as the usefulness of cult studies for understanding the experience of survivors.
“Abuse in Religious Contexts” is an AHRC-funded research project, which explores the ways cultures and structures of a wide variety of faith communities cause, facilitate, legitimate, justify, and hide abuse.
