Religion and Social Change

Religion has long been a force to push for changes in society on key issues, as well as sometimes a force to prevent changes in society. Religious groups and beliefs are also sometimes impacted by broader changes within society. This symposium will address topics such as: religion and key social issues today (like climate change, immigration, gun control, health, and race and gender inequalities); religion and key social issues in the past; religious groups' responses to or advocating for policy changes; religious responses to broader unfolding changes in society; and changing relationships between religion and institutions of society like science and medicine.

Details about the symposium are forthcoming.
