Spring Workshop: "Public
Scholarship of Religion in an Age of Hypermediation", Boulder, Colorado,
6-10 May 2020
The present era has been said to be
defined by “hypermediation” where the features of ubiquitous mediation have
become the conditions of contemporary knowledge-building. This calls into
question traditional approaches to public scholarship which conceive of it
according to a “publication model”. Hypermediation means that this model is too
simple and at least fails to account for the range of ways and locations that
religion and knowledge of religion are produced today.
Deadline for abstracts: 31 January 2020.

International Conference: “Religion

University of Winchester, 2-3 June 2020
The conference will take the
outcomes of practical peacebuilding initiatives as a starting point from which
to retrospectively analyse the complex factors, ideas, processes and dynamics
which led to that point. An emphasis on impact can enable contributors to
critically consider: the direct and indirect links (if any) between theory,
practice and impact in religion, reconciliation and peacebuilding; the range
and type of variables which might contribute to determining the outcome and
impacts of projects; etc.
