Abstract
This article builds on Nella van den Brandt’s critical cultural analysis of women’s religious transformations to offer a novel perspective on interreligious dialogue (IRD) within the European context. By exploring the intersections of religion, gender, race, and secularism, the article challenges the prevailing assumption that IRD is an inherently inclusive and emancipatory practice. Instead, it reveals how IRD can, often unintentionally, perpetuate white secular/Christian hegemony, reinforcing boundaries between “us” (Europeans) and “them” (religious or cultural others).
