Graduate Conference at Columbia University: Religion on the Move

2012-11-30T16:02:13-05:00

CALL FOR PAPERS

Religion on the Move: Movement, Migration, Missions and new Media across Religious Traditions

Columbia University Department of Religion

Graduate Conference

Friday, April 26, 2013

Keynote Speaker: Michael D. Jackson, Distinguished Visiting Professor of World Religions, Harvard Divinity School

The history of religion is a history of movement.  But what happens when religion is on the move?

In this conference, we are interested in examining how an interdisciplinary approach to migratory experiences might illuminate the dynamic interplay between the limited possibilities in which people find themselves and the capabilities they nonetheless possess for creating viable, even vibrant, forms of social life.  By treating religion as an embodied and spatial phenomenon that intersects with political and economic structures in complex and often unexpected ways, this conference aims not […]

Religion and Contemporary Activism

2012-11-30T15:43:58-05:00

Mobilizing Ideas (http://mobilizingideas.wordpress.com) has launched a new essay dialogue entitled: Religion and Contemporary Activism.  Recent empirical cases of the relationship between religion and activism require scholars to reevaluate our current theories to see if they adequately capture the myriad relationships between religion and activism. Contributors to the first round of essays in this dialogue include Rhys Williams, Ziad Munson, Grace Yukich, and Tricia Bruce. We will also post several more essays on this topic in mid November.  We invite you to visit the blog, enjoy reading these posts, and join the conversation by posting your thoughts in the comments.
