An all-women's college could provide the perfect opportunity to address two important issues: to develop an additional model for teaching men's studies within undergraduate religious studies and to facilitate a collective women's response to profeminist men's studies. To accomplish both these tasks, we piloted a new course at Agnes Scott College during fall semester 1999, entitled “Women, Masculinities, and Religion.” This course, including its female participants' responses to men's studies work in religion during the 1990s, constitutes one specific site of the intersection of men's studies scholarship and professional practice, the further exploration of which may both enhance pedagogical conversations within the academy and contribute to the future shape of genuinely profeminist men's studies work within the field of religious studies. To these ends, this paper describes the shape and content of the course, and examines both related pedagogical issues and students' responses to the course design and content
