Grazina Bielousova

Grazina Bielousova is a PhD candidate in Religious Studies at Duke University. Bielousova focuses on the intersections of critical race theory, feminism, and religion, with particular attention to the way they apply to Eastern European context. Bielousova credits these academic interests to having grown up in Eastern Europe (Lithuania) during its turbulent transition from the Soviet Union occupied territories to independent, nationalist states, and to the first-hand experience of the role of religion in geopolitical and state building processes.
