2024 Annual Meeting STUDENT Registration
Friday, November 22, 2024 in San Diego
Join the Annual Meeting at Hilton Bayfront-Cobalt 520 [Fifth Level] (3-5pm) and Dinner/Social Gathering (6-8pm) nearby at Athens Market Taverna.
The meeting includes two back-to-back sessions.
Registration includes dinner.
Session #1 asks whether inclusive (religious) futures are possible, given legacies of colonialism, religionization, and emergent religious supremacies. This session includes a panel discussion of Marianne Moyaert’s new book Christian Imaginations of the Religious Other: A History of Religionization (2024). In conversation with Moyaert, panelists (Rachel A. Heath and TBD) will discuss how this research impacts both pedagogy and interfaith encounter/dialogue, with a special focus on how questions about race and religion might affect/shift how scholars relate to their own traditions and histories.
Session #2 will devote time to an open conversation about our roles navigating contentious campus conversations. It will be an opportunity for open exchanges between (inter)religious scholars navigating various public conversations about the ongoing situation in Gaza as well as recent and upcoming elections. We recognize the past academic year has significantly impacted our universities as well as our own personal lives. As a group of scholars and activists, we want to acknowledge the toll this has taken on many within our communities. We also want to build space to share experiences and resources in ways that enable all voices to be heard while providing concrete takeaways for further engagement. In the weeks before meeting, we may provide additional framing based on the circumstances at the time.
