Sixteenth International Conference on Religion & Spirituality in Society, Universidad Antonio Ruiz de Montoya, Lima, Perú, 22-23 June 2026

Founded in 2011, Religion in Society Research Network explores the relationship between religion in society and the changing nature of spirituality. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Sixteenth International Conference on Religion & Spirituality in Society calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:

2026 Special Focus—Indigenous Spiritualities in Global Perspective

Theme 1: Religious Foundations
Theme 2: Religious Community and Socialization
