Dr. Golshan Golriz, Assistant Professor, recently published a book titled LGBTQ Religious Activism, Rethinking Identity, Faith, and Social Change.
Co-edited by Jonathan S. Coley, the book delves into understanding the activism of the queer faithful. Through bringing together leading scholars of social movements, religion, and gender and sexuality, the authors curate a comprehensive look at religiously affiliated social movements within many faiths, discussing why and how LGBTQ people engage in activism and the outcomes.
Dr. Golriz's research focuses on gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity, analyzing them through social movements, political sociology, qualitative methods and methodologies.
