Penny Magee Memorial Lecture

Penny Magee Memorial Lecture

Penny Magee (1937-1998) was a scholar of religion specialising in feminist studies and Eastern Religions. She trained at the University of South Australia and completed postgraduate work under the supervision of Ninian Smart and Eric Sharp. Penny was also a trained teacher and concert pianist. A scholar of immense integrity and rigour, she was loved by her students, and fought passionately for the recognition of religious studies and feminist religious studies in the academy. Penny was an active early member of the AASR, first as Secretary/Treasurer and then as founding member of ARS Review. Penny founded the AASR Women's Caucus and campaigned for many years for the inclusion of women and feminist voices in the AASR.

The Inaugural Lecture was given by Penny's dear friend and colleague Morny Joy.
