This Monday December 9th at 1pm on KPFA Radio’s Women’s Magazine Lisa Dettmer talks to scholar Dr. Katie Gaddini who is an expert on young conservative evangelical women in the U.S. and the UK in order to try and find out why so many young conservative christian women supported Trump, what gender politics have to do with their conservative beliefs and politics and what the Democrats and the left may have gotten wrong about the Christian Right. Dr Gaddini is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University College London and Visiting Scholar at Stanford University. Her debut book, “The Struggle to Stay”, was based on over four years of in-depth ethnographic research with single evangelical women in the US and the UK. She is currently writing a book on Christian women and conservative politics from 1970 to present.
