Abstract

This panel explores the role of religion in debates and conflicts over family norms, gender roles, and sexuality. It examines how religious beliefs, institutions, and actors shape public discourse, policy-making, and social movements related to issues such as marriage, reproduction, and gender equality. Through comparative perspectives, the panel analyzes how these controversies reflect broader struggles over moral authority, social change, and political power.
