'Is God queer?': University of Chicago offers 'Queering God' course to study reimagining of gender in theology
Fox News
The University of Chicago is slated to teach a course on 'Queering God' this fall and will analyze gender and theology, queerness in different theologies and more.
"We will analyze the ways that contemporary artists, activists, and scholars are using theology to reimagine gender and experiment with new relational forms," it continues. "Our readings will include a variety of genres: memoir, letters, scriptural interpretation, and a novel. There will be no presumption of previous acquaintance with any of the readings or topics discussed, or indeed with any academic theology or queer theory at all." Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.
Beginning fall 2023, students can take the course taught by Olivia Bustion, who earned her Master of Divinity degree from UChicago in 2014 and is currently working on a doctoral program in theology at the school.
