Dr. Golshan Golriz and colleagues have published their latest work - How LGBTQ+ People are Creating Change in Their Faith Communities - in the American Sociological Association Journal Contexts. 

For LGBTQ+ people, religion can be a source of oppression as well as a source of healing and inspiration. Within three socially conservative religious traditions, the authors uncover LGBTQ+ adherents’ efforts to make their faiths more inclusive.

We are very happy to announce the publication of Dr. Fauzia Husain's first book: The Stigma Matrix:  Gender, Globalization, and the Agency of Pakistan's Frontline Women, published by Stanford University Press. Details, excerpts, and reviews of the book are here: Stanford University Press

Many congratulations Fauzia!
