Religion and Social Science invites interdisciplinary perspectives that address the integration of religious scholarship with disciplines focused on psychology and culture, including anthropology, education, psychology, sociology or social work. Each of these disciplines involves the careful examination and understanding of human experience. This unit hopes to provide a venue to showcase and discuss scholarship that advances the intersection of these streams of scholarship. Presentation proposals may consider for example, topics including religion and mental or physical health (e.g., religion and disabilities); religion and trauma; neuropsychology and theology; guilt and shame; forgiveness; humility; gratitude; God image/concept; faith development; religion and sexuality; the psychology of the pastorate; the sociology of faith communities; religious faith in culture; religious and spiritual struggle or social crisis; disappointment or anger with God; religion and aggression, conflict, and violence; religious attitudes; religion and migration; and religious multiplicity. 

This unit accepts student submissions.
