Points for Action:

• Conduct analyses within academic, religious, activist, and research networks that go beyond the simple sacred/secular binary.

• Develop a critical pedagogy that questions both liberal secular feminism and the reification of religion.

• Advocate for funding for basic research on religion and gender in order to prepare and train the next generation of progressive leaders.
