Kristin Aune is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Derby, where she teaches courses on gender, feminism, and religion. Her academic career focuses on the intersection of feminist theory, religious studies, and contemporary social issues, with particular attention to how women navigate religious and spiritual identities in modern Western societies. Dr. Aune's research interests span several interconnected fields including gender studies, feminism, religion and society, secularization processes, and contemporary spirituality. Her work examines how feminist perspectives interact with religious traditions, particularly focusing on third-wave feminists in the UK. She investigates questions about religious adherence among feminists, the relationship between secularization and feminism, and the emergence of alternative spiritualities within feminist communities. Her research demonstrates that feminists tend to be "much less religious, a little more spiritual" compared to the general population, exploring the complex dynamics between feminist values and spiritual practices. Analysis of Dr. Aune's publication record reveals consistent scholarly engagement with the relationship between feminism and religious/spiritual identities across multiple contexts. Her work spans theoretical explorations of feminist spirituality as "lived religion," empirical studies of religious views among third-wave feminists, examinations of gender roles within evangelical Christianity, and investigations of how secularism impacts women's rights. The recurring theme across her scholarship is the negotiation of gender, faith, and modern identity in Western societies, with particular attention to British contexts. Dr. Aune has made significant contributions to feminist scholarship through her co-edited volumes including "Women and Religion in the West: Challenging Secularization" (2008) and "Reclaiming the F Word: The New Feminist Movement" (2010), which have helped shape contemporary discussions about feminism's relationship with religion and secularism.
