About the Series

Over the last half century, there have been numerous calls for Christian theology and ethics to take human experience seriously—to delve into particular economic, socio-political, racial-ethnic, and cultural contexts from which theological and moral imagination arises. Yet actual theologies that draw upon descriptive-rich, qualitative methods—methods that place such particularity at the center of inquiry and performance—are few and scattered. T & T Clark Studies in Social Ethics, Ethnography, and Theologies is a series that addresses this gap in the literature by providing a publishing home for timely ethnographically-driven theological and ethical investigations of an expansive array of pressing social issues, ranging from armed conflict to racism to healthcare inequities to sexuality/gender and discrimination to the marginalization of persons with disabilities. The scope of the series projects, taken together, is at once global and intensely local, with the central organizing conviction that ethnography provides not only information to plug into a theology, but a valid and vibrant way of doing theology and ethics.
