How might process theology contribute to gender justice in Islamic feminist theology?
“By challenging classical theistic notions of omnipotence, immutability, and dualistic thinking, process thought provides a theological basis for critiquing interpretations of Islamic texts that have been used to justify gender hierarchy and inequality.“
Adis Duderija, PhD
By emphasising a dynamic, interconnected, and responsive God, process theology offers a fertile framework that challenges traditional hierarchical views of divine-human relationships and gender dynamics found in mainstream Islamic theology that have strong patriarchal tendencies.
In this event, Dr. Adis Duderija will explore how integrating process thought into Islamic feminism can provide fresh perspectives on key Islamic theological concepts that can further fortify the key ideas of Islamic feminist theology.
Dr. Duderija aims to develop more gender egalitarian understandings of divine-human relationships, gender dynamics, and religious authority in Islamic theology, potentially expanding the metaphysical and theological foundations of Islamic feminism and Islamic feminist theology and opening new avenues for dialogue.
