the Study of Religion Conference
University of Western Sydney
Parramatta Campus, 28-30 September 2012
Multiple Religious Modernities
Deadline for submissions of abstracts (individual paper or panel
proposals): 31 May, 2012
At the local and global level, religion is changed
through social processes, but religion also impacts
on societies at the structural and grass roots levels.
As modernity and (de)secularisation are multilateral
processes, the conference explores the multiple types
of (de)centralisation, pluralism and voluntarism of
religious life.
