Abstract

The international scientific conference Religion, Gender, Sexuality, jointly organized by the Centre for Sociological Research and the Yugoslav Society for the Scientific Study of Religion (YSSSR), was held on June 24, 2016 at the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš. Sociologists of religion, anthropologists and religious scholars from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, the Netherlands and United States contributed to the fruitful discussions of the various relations of religion, sexuality and gender, especially the place and role of women in society within the framework of religious discourse.

Selected papers, having passed the regular peer review procedure, will be published in volumes 2 and 3 of the 2016 issue of the journal (courtesy of the organizers of the conference – Dragana Stjepanović Zaharijevski and Miloš Jovanović), and thus give a modest contribution to the growing interest of the scientific community for this important research topic.
