It will draw together leading scholars of religion from across traditional academic disciplines to reassess the place of religion in our contemporary societies.

In line with the conference theme, the Graduate Student Workshop will showcase emerging scholarship that examines, challenges, and reassesses the traditional boundaries of law, religion, and politics. It is open to current J.D, J.S.D./S.J.D., and Ph.D. candidates. Submissions: Abstracts of not more than 300 words should be submitted to Michael Clemente at [email protected] by March 1, 2015.
