Program Unit Online Meeting 2024

Religion in Europe Unit

Call for Proposals

"What is 'religion in Europe?' Roundtable: For this virtual summer roundtable, we're looking for several contributions that engage with a brief theoretical, methodological, or theological reflection on the assessment, definition or problematization of 'religion' in Europe (including specific national contexts or Europe otherwise conceived), including reflections on the relationship between 'religion' and secularism in European contexts. For this special short panel, we'll ask each participant to discuss a single image for approximately 5-7 minutes, before then engaging in a panel-wide exchange and discussion, followed by Q&A.

Statement of Purpose

This Unit is designed to serve as a forum for scholarly dialogue on religious issues related to the social, cultural, and political contexts of Eastern and Western Europe and beyond, seeking to help guide critical conversations about Europe and its global entanglements. Our guiding principles include a commitment to scholarly dialogue across disciplines, a comparative spirit sensitive to Europe’s religious diversity, and a transhistorical appreciation of the full trajectory of European-related experiences.
