On January 14-16 the British Academy will host “Religious-Secular Distinctions,” a conference intended to take up, from an interdisciplinary set of perspectives, the question, “How and why do people—politicians, academics, managers, teachers, journalists, clergy, lawyers—distinguish between ‘religious’ and ‘non-religious’ or ‘secular’?”
Sponsored by the Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society, and Rule of Law at Aberdeen University, and convened by Drs. Trevor Stack and Timothy Fitzgerald, the conference aims to “broaden our understanding of religious-secular distinctions by bringing together scholars from religious studies, anthropology, history, economics, law, theology, philosophy, sociology and political science.”
Other speakers include Immanent Frame contributors Tomoko Masuzawa, Winnifred Fallers Sullivan, John Bowen, and Hent de Vries.
