Associate Professor Evelyn Bush’s article, “Explaining Religious Market Failure: A Gendered Critique of the Religious Economies Model,” was published in Sociological Theory, Vol. 28, Issue 3 (Sept. 2010): 247–354. Her book chapter, “Religious Freedom and Transnational Religion: An Economic Approach,” was published in Religious Actors in the Public Sphere, eds. Jeffrey Haynes and Anja Henning.

 With the assistance of two Fordham graduate students, Dr. Bush recently completed the construction of a dataset of international religious human rights NGOs, which is soon to be published in the online Association of Religion Data Archives (www.arda.com).

Dr. Bush is currently on sabbatical, completing the second year of a three-year research project housed at the University of Kent in Canterbury, England, with co-principal investigators Jeremy Carrette and Hugh Miall). The project, entitled Religious NGOs at the United Nations in New York and Geneva, was awarded a £500,000 grant from the United Kingdom's Arts and Humanities Research Council.
