Special Focus & Themes

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 Seventeenth International Conference on Religion & Spirituality in Society calls for research addressing the following themes.

  • 2027 Special Focus—Contemporary Re-enchantments: Spiritual Mixing, Cultural Hybridity, and Religious Change in a Globalized World
  • Theme 1: Continuities, Revitalizations, and Adaptations of Religious Traditions
  • Theme 2: Hybridizations and Religious Syncretism
  • Theme 3: Discourses, Narratives, and Mediations of Re-enchantment
  • Theme 4: Digital Practices and Connected Spiritualities
  • Theme 5: Eco-spiritualities, Ecological Re-enchantment, and New Experiential Relationships
  • Theme 6: Translation, Transmission, and Transformation of Syncretic Practices
