Susan Jean Palmer (born April 14, 1946) 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 Westmount, Quebec,[1] an adjunct professor at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, and an affiliate member (lecturer) at McGill University in Montreal. She teaches sociology of religion courses. EducationPalmer received a B.A. in Literature and Religion at McGill University before she received her Masters and Ph.D in Religion from Concordia. WorkShe is best known for her 1994 book on gender issues, Moon Sisters, Krishna Mothers, Rajneesh Lovers: Women's Roles in New Religions.[1] 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, the Nuwaubian Nation and Raëlism. 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" [2] has reappeared in several anthologies. Her most recent work has focused on religious freedom issues. The New Heretics of France[3] explores the state-sponsored persecution of religious minorities, and The Nuwaubian Nation[4] argues that Black Nationalist prophets in the US 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 still is friendly. According to Palmer, the blacklisting was a measure that allowed her to reflect upon the quoting her words out of context by journalists with which both she and the Raelians were displeased.[5] Bibliography
