\"Flier<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n


This work-in-progress explores how religion appears and disappears within the work of disability history. It focuses on representations of Eliza Suggs, an early-twentieth century African American preacher and author, and argues that scholarly preference for a particular kind of subject\u2014one defined in terms of oppositional agency\u2014often obscures accounts of the past. The paper returns to Suggs\u2019 1906 memoir, Shadow and Sunshine<\/em>, as an incitement to think more carefully about how practices of devotion, submission, and piety have shaped experiences of embodied difference.<\/p>\n

Moderated by <\/span>Lance Laird<\/span><\/a>, ThD, Boston University Medical Center <\/span><\/p>\n


What are the barriers to effectively addressing gender-based violence in Muslim communities? How do systems of power and privilege affect which victims are (and aren\u2019t) believed and protected? Who gets access to services, information, and safety and how can access be expanded? How can those working against domestic and sexual violence center the Islamic value of mercy?<\/span><\/p>\n
