This event took place on Wednesday, November 16, at 4:00 p.m. in Goodson Chapel at Duke University.

In addition to her academic research on women and religion in medieval and early modern England, Professor Barr is a highly sought-after public scholar. Her most recent book, The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth (2021), was a USA Today and Publisher's Weekly best seller and a 2022 Christianity Today book award finalist.

Professor Barr was in conversation with Elizabeth Schrader Polczer, doctoral candidate in Religious Studies at Duke and the 2022-23 Anne Firor Scott Public Scholarship Fellow. This is the second in Polczer's four-part series, "Contemporary Conversations in Christianity." More information at https://fsp.duke.edu/events/christianity-conversations-2-barr/
