VOLUME 106 (1) November -December 2024 for January 2025 PUBLICATION SPECIAL THEMED ISSUE Religion/Theology, Mother Earth, Pandemics and Gender: Exploring Solutions, Fortitude, and Resilience (Pan African conference at Trinity College in Ghana, July 2024).
This themed issue explores Religion/theology, Mother Earth, and pandemics in the context of gender. The enquiry embraces the complexity of belief systems and scrutinizes practical implications for fostering nuanced understandings of the multifaceted relationships that influence societal resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges. Focusing on how religious and theological perspectives shape gendered responses to crises related to Mother Earth, and pandemics, we acknowledge diverse experiences and cultural nuances. From gender and environmental exploitation to impacts and responses to pandemics, we seek to illuminate pathways for collective resilience, and sustainable coexistence. In pursuit of practical insight, this thematic inquiry aspires to unravel connections that foster solutions, fortitude, and resilience in the face of contemporary problems.
