Unravelling Religion 2: Projecting the Secular
Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference
Queen’s University, Kingston, ON
Keynote Address: Dr. William Arnal (University of Regina)
March 7, 2015
Religion, however it is defined, is entangled in aspects of daily life, popular culture, and political discourse. In this view, religious beliefs and practices constitute a common thread that runs through the fabric of human life, linking individuals to religious communities and to one another. At the same time, the term ‘religion’ is inextricably tied to other complex terms including ‘culture’ and especially ‘the secular.’ Far from being a discrete thread in the intricately woven fabric of human life, ‘religion,’ can become a tangled mess of meanings and associations whose strands are often twisted, knotted, and frayed.
The deadline for submissions has been extended to Feb 1, 2015. Please visit the conference website (unravellingreligion.wordpress.com) for more information.
