Sixteenth International Conference on Religion & Spirituality in Society
- Indigenous Spiritualities in Global Perspective
- 22-23 June 2026
- Universidad Antonio Ruiz de Montoya, Lima, Perú + Online
The 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.
The Sixteenth International Conference on Religion & Spirituality in Society will feature plenary sessions by some of the world’s leading thinkers and innovators in the field.
