Week 7 Questions for discussion:1. Guest question from Siobhan! “Reflect on how neither religion nor gender is a set, monolithic 'thing' and instead, is something continually being redefined both within and across cultures. Can you contribute any critical analysis here, or cite specific examples that can illustrate this point?”2. In any Australian university approved social research, Human Research Ethics clearance is required. At Macquarie University, this process is overseen by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). Obviously, conducting ethnographic research on religion in LGBTIQ social/cultural contexts has unique challenges that would require you to ensure the safety and satisfaction of all participants. This week, we have seen how both Peuman’s ethnographies and Dr. Irving’s own fieldwork deftly navigate the complex and potentially fraught field-world of Religion and LGBTIQ participants. If you were to conduct HREC approved fieldwork in LGBTIQ social spaces (religious or otherwise), how would you ethically approach your informants and anthropological research?Bonus: For more on HREC at Macquarie: https:www.mq.edu.auesearch/ethics-integrity-and-policies/ethics/human-ethics

WEEK 7 QUESTION
Question 1:
Gender and religion are been continually redefined across different cultures and countries rather just being a set monolithic aspect.
From the studies I have done, I have realized that the Sociology of Region had lagged somewhere in accepting gender seriously. Although, there were some ethnographic researches that have recognized the importance of gender, however, the Sociology of religion continued to remain gender-blind. I feel there were several occasions we can find clashes in the equality rights based on religious norms and cultural practices. Interestingly, the barriers for women rights were observed to vary depending on region and religion (Winkel, 2019).
