International Association for the History of Religions Special
Conference 2012
Religions, Science and Technology in Cultural Contexts:
Dynamics of Change
Venue: Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
1-3 March 2012
In current public and academic debates, the complex relationships
between "religion" and "science" tend to be reduced into one between
monolithic entities. By exploring historical and contemporary
interactions between religions, science and technology, a more complex
understanding may be reached of the areas and ways in which they
overlap, correspond, challenge and conflict with each other.
This conference seeks to explore how religions, science and technology
interact and generate change (progressive, reactive, regressive),
particularly in relation to such issues as the environment and climate
change; the economy; welfare; life expectancy; popular representation;
and sexual equality.
Of particular interest are explorations of dynamic relationships between
worldviews/cosmologies, socio-cultural practices and technologies; and
of "the politics of change", i.e. how different actors seek to convince
the public of the benefits of their own approaches or of the detriment
of "the others" approaches.
The conference is organized by the Department of Archaeology and
Religious Studies of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology
in Trondheim.
Registration fee until 1 December 2011 is 250 EUR, which includes
conference materials, lunches and refreshments. There will also be
bursaries for participants from lower income countries.
Abstracts of 200 words and affiliation details should be submitted by
1st August 2011. For submitting your abstracts and for any type of
inquiries, you are welcome to contact the Conference secretary, Filip
Ivanovic (filip.ivanovic@ntnu.no).

The e-NASS is essentially generalist to revive renaissance wo/men with global and historical perspectives covering from the mist-shrouded steppes of Asia to the sun-drenched African, American and European shores without neglecting the exotic Oceania. In order to protect its subscribers vis-�-vis the virus-spreading, hoax and spam e-mails, the e-NASS is strictly moderated while e-mails containing attachments are automatically removed.
