Description
Welcome to the micro-site for the Sixteenth International Conference on Religion & Spirituality in Society
Founded in 2011, Religion in Society Research Network explores the relationship between religion in society and the changing nature of spirituality. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.
The Sixteenth International Conference on Religion & Spirituality in Society calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:
2026 Special Focus—Indigenous Spiritualities in Global Perspective
Theme 1: Religious Foundations
Theme 2: Religious Community and Socialization
Theme 3: Religious Commonalities and Differences
Theme 4: The Politics of Religion
We are interested in the following lines of investigation:
On the sources, modes, and manifestations of religiosity.
On learning religious ways, spiritual ways of life, and religious institutions.
On variations in religious forms and the relationships between different religions.
On the relations of religion to the state and civil society.
Religion in Society Research Network also supports a book imprint and a collection of journals.
