Conference The Liquid Presence of Religion in the Public Sphere

What happens when the boundaries between religion and other institutional spheres, such as politics, economy, education, care, and the arts are revisited? This question calls for renewed attention to the public sphere, stretching from the prominent presence of religion in contemporary politics to the public significance of individual faith among younger generations. This topic will be addressed at the ESA Research Network 34 Sociology of Religion mid-term conference on 20-21 August 2025 at Tilburg University. Keynote speakers include Suzanne Klein Schaarsberg (Tilburg University) and Marian Burchardt (University of Leipzig). The conference is sponsored by NOSTER, and our members pay a reduced conference fee. For more information, check out the conference webpage.
