Religions et (in)égalité

Un appel à contribution est lancé pour le colloque annuel de Sociology of Religion Study Group (SOCREL), Université de Chester (Royaume-Uni), 28-30 mars 2012, sur le thème Religion and (In)Equalities. Envoyer les propositions avant le 28 octobre 2011 à religionandinequalities@gmail.com.

Conférenciers: Tariq Modood (University of Bristol), Elaine Graham (University of Chester), Sean McCloud (University of North Carolina).

This interdisciplinary conference gathers academics and practitioners to discuss the complex ways religion interacts with systems of power and/or categories of difference that affect experiences of equality and/or inequality in individuals, groups and spaces. The intersections of gender, race and class are typically part of the mutually constitutive ‘matrix’ of social categories that contribute to identities and power relations, however religion is often overlooked. Such oversight can only result in limited analyses and leaves pathways to social inclusion and exclusion concealed. Through this conference we seek to bring together research that explores the ways religious beliefs, identities, practices, communities and institutions can contribute to both experiences of belonging and marginalization.

Abstracts are invited on the conference theme, especially on the interaction of religious beliefs, traditions, practices and identities with: Class; Gender; Economics; Multicultural politics; Education; Social justice; Race; Dis/abilities; Public policy; Healthcare and Well-being; Sexuality.

Please submit abstracts by 28 October 2011 to Dr Dawn Llewellyn (University of Chester) and Dr Sonya Sharma (Durham University) at: religionandinequalities@gmail.com. Abstracts for 20 minute papers (300 words max.), panel proposals (750 words max.) and alternative formats (750 words max.) are welcomed.
