McGill-CREOR Graduate Students’ Conference

Similar to previous years, the topic for the conference, while directly pertinent to the study of religion, also welcomes and invites an interdisciplinary approach to the topic in a limited, yet guided format. The goal of the conference is: a) to give graduate students an opportunity to present research papers in front of colleagues with similar interests and create a positive space for constructive feedback, b) to provide an opportunity to open dialogue and network with the larger graduate student community, and c) to become better acquainted with our current and future colleagues. We also hope to foster graduate student membership in the new and exciting multidisciplinary organization, The Centre for Research on Religion/Centre de Recherche sur la Religion (CREOR), which aims to create a broad academic platform to coordinate and support research on the identities of the main religions of the world, their differences and their common grounds, and how they contribute to a better understanding of past and present-day culture, ethics and politics. We are interested in contributions from all disciplines, including, but not limited to, philosophy, political science, religious studies, law, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, ritual studies, and art history.
