Susan J. Palmer : ウィキペディア英語版 | Susan J. Palmer Susan Jean Palmer is a Canadian sociologist and author whose primary research interest is new religious movements. She is a professor of Religious Studies at Dawson College in Montreal, Quebec,〔 and an adjunct professor at Concordia University, teaching sociology of religion courses. ==Biography== Palmer received her Masters and PhD in Religion from Concordia University. She is best known for her 1994 book on gender issues, ''Moon Sisters, Krishna Mothers, Rajneesh Lovers: Women's Roles in New Religions''.〔(1994) ''Moon Sisters, Krishna Mothers, Rajneesh Lovers: Women's Roles in New Religions.'' Syracuse, New York: Syracuse University Press.〕 She has engaged in field research with at least 30 different groups, and is considered to be a leading authority on the Twelve Tribes communities, United Nuwaubian Nation and the Raelian Movement. Her topics range from apocalyptic activity, prophecy, charisma, communalism, childrearing, racialist religions, to research ethics and methods in studying new religions. Her article, “Caught Up in the Cult Wars: Confessions of a Canadian Researcher” 〔Palmer, Susan J. 2001. "Caught Up in the Cult Wars: Confessions of a Canadian Researcher." In ''Misunderstanding Cults, Searching for Objectivity in a Controversial Field'', eds. Benjamin Zablocki and Thomas Robbins, 99-122. Toronto: University of Toronto Press.〕 has reappeared in several anthologies. Her most recent work has focused on religious freedom issues. ''The New Heretics of France''〔Palmer, Susan (in press, June 2011) ''The New Heretics of France, Minority Religions, la Republique, and the Government-Sponsored 'War on Sects' '' New York: Oxford University Press〕 explores the state-sponsored persecution of religious minorities, and ''The Nuwaubian Nation''〔Palmer, Susan 2010 ''The Nuwaubian Nation: Black Spirituality and State Control'' Farnham, UK: Ashgate〕 argues that Black Nationalist prophets in the U.S. are targeted by networks of interest groups and rarely receive a fair trial. Shortly before writing her book about them, ''Aliens Adored: Rael's UFO Religion'', she was blacklisted by the Raelians, with whom she had been friendly and continues to be so. According to Palmer, the blacklisting was a measure that allowed her to reflect upon the misquoting her words out of context by journalists, which both she and the Raelians were displeased with.〔(2004) (''Aliens Adored: Raël's UFO Religion''. New Brunswick, New Jersey: Rutgers University Press. )〕
