PTN Mentoring Initiative

The Political Theology Network receives now applications for the 2020-2021 PTN Mentoring Initiative

Applications are now available for the 2020-2021 Political Theology Network Mentoring Initiative. The Political Theology Network aims to continue its tradition of connecting underrepresented scholars (especially doctoral students and contingent faculty), including women and racial minorities, with mentors. Mentees and mentors will meet virtually twice each semester and may discuss topics such as discerning a research trajectory, finding a publisher, preparing for qualifying exams, and navigating racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia in the academy. We understand political theology expansively, as a conversation that involves scholars engaging with different religious traditions, from different disciplinary perspectives, interested in connections between religious and political ideas and practices (see PTN Points of Unity).

Questions can be directed to Roberto Sirvent (rdsirvent@hiu.edu). To sign up to be a mentor or mentee, please click on the following links:

The Political Theology Network aims to be a hub for exploring the intersection of religious and political ideas and practices. The Network is interdisciplinary, publicly engaged, and committed to building links between theologians, practitioners, and humanities scholars. Riding a wave of scholarly interest in political theology that itself follows the increasing visibility of religion in public life, the Network seeks to create the infrastructure that will allow this interest to flourish in the long term, supporting discussions of political theology in the classroom, in scholarly research, and in the public arena. By bringing scholars thinking with the term “political theology” from throughout the humanities together with scholars of religious traditions, we aim to thicken the appreciation of religion’s complexity among the former while sharpening the critical edge of the latter.
