Rituals of Faith and Religion during Uncertain Times
Faith & religion help people and communities cope with the unexpected. While core elements remain, ritual forms are adapted to times and threats. Through narratives of historical and recent periods of uncertainty, rituals are seen as an important channel for coping with uncertainty.
The conference is being held from June 07-10, 2023. For more information about the conference, visit this link.
