EFSRE VI conference: Religion, Materialism and Ecology
Event Information
About this event
The European Forum for the Study of Religion and the Environment in association with the Lincoln Theological Institute and the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence is pleased to announce its sixth international conference to be held remotely by Zoom.
RELIGION, MATERIALISM AND ECOLOGY REDUX!
Friday 14 May to Saturday 15 May 2021
CONFERENCE THEME
Because of changes brought about by, among other things, a warming climate, there has been a revival in materialism. At issue are a range of issues, including hierarchy, the nature of relationality, the relation between nature and society, human and other agencies, and ‘world picture’. The conference will aim to explore some of these new developments, including how materialist issues impinge upon religious traditions and the extent to which religions are already materialist and so have a creative contribution to make to debates about ecological materialisms.
