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 Thirteenth International Conference on Religion & Spirituality in Society calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus: 2023 Special Focus—Religion in the Public Sphere: From the Ancient Years to the Post-Modern Era Theme 1: Interdisciplinary Approaches Theme 2: Human Rights and Policy Theme 3: Narratives and Identity Theme 4: Culture and Education
