Our online new books lecture series

Please join us for our online lecture series, "New Books - Live - on Secularism, Gender, Law & Politics", hosted by Melanie Adrian, Amélie Barras & Jennifer Selby. You may sign up for individual talks with the links below.

This one-hour online series began in the early days of the global pandemic. We have continued online. The series brings together scholars interested in secularism, gender, law and politics in a lively and informal manner and allows us all to keep up to date with the latest scholarship. The sessions are not recorded.
