Southern Baptists’ call for the US Supreme Court to overturn its same-sex marriage decision is part of a long history of opposing women’s and LGBTQ+ people’s rights

1 week ago | timeswv.com | Susan Shaw

The Southern Baptist Convention has lost 3.6 million members over the past two decades and faces an ongoing sexual abuse crisis. At its June 2025 annual meeting, however, neither of those issues took up as much time as controversial social issues, including the denomination’s stance on same-sex marriage.

What’s Behind The Parity In NCAA Women’s Basketball?

Mar 19, 2025 | forbes.com | Susan Shaw

The field is set for the 2025 NCAA Division I women’s basketball tournament, and picking the winner seems to be a trickier prediction each year. While the University of Connecticut dominated college women’s hoops for years, the Huskies haven’t won the championship since 2016, although they’ve stayed a top team. In fact, over the past eight years, five different teams have won it all (with one year cancelled because of Covid). Only South Carolina has repeated.
What’s The Hubbub About Racism Around The WNBA?

Oct 4, 2024 | forbes.com | Susan Shaw

If you pay attention to sports news at all, you’ve probably heard the recent outcry about the racist comments, posts, and treatment that’s been aimed at many of the WNBA’s top Black players this season. You may wonder how a league that’s prided itself on its commitment to diversity has ended up here, but as someone who studies intersections between gender, race, and sports, I’m not terribly surprised.

'Surviving God': An Excerpt on God, the Church and Sexual Abuse

Jun 12, 2024 | msmagazine.com | Susan Shaw |Grace Kim

The following is an excerpt from Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Susan M. Shaw‘s new book, Surviving God: A New Vision of God Through the Eyes of Sexual Abuse Survivors. The God of our childhoods was terrifying. Sure, He (and it was always “He”) loved us, but we also knew He could destroy us in a moment if we displeased Him. Poof! Like Lot’s wife, we’d become a pillar of salt. God knew us intimately and had complete control over us.
