The Religion and Society unit exists to promote scholarship related to all aspects of the intersection of religion with society and culture.

This unit is delighted to recieve papers from students, noting that they try to approach all papers as in-process and encourage their further development. They also would like you to know that Papers presented in our unit have included social ethics; gender studies; power dynamics; speculative fiction; sociology, anthropology and psychology of religion; analyses of congregational and religious life; and historical studies that don't find a place elsewhere. Interdisciplinary work is particularly welcome. We are hoping to see some work on AI impacts in the future. If you have a paper or panel idea and don't know where it belongs then we probably have a place for it. Furthermore, We in the section like to see ourselves as a community of scholars. We try to build long-term research and personal relationships and welcome new participants.
