Welcome to the home page of the UCSIA Summer School Religion, Culture and Society. The summer school is a one-week course taking place each year at the end of August, beginning of September.
In 2012 the programme will start on Sunday August 26th (arrival) and finish on Sunday September 2nd (departure). The emphasis will be on Secularism(s) and religion in society.
It is evident that religion, culture and society are strongly interwoven and are crucial for understanding the contemporary world. With globalization touching on all aspect of our lives, religion(s) and culture(s) have to understand their position in this complex globalizing process. It is the aim of the interdisciplinary UCSIA summer school to better understand the dynamic interplay between the macro- and micro-social developments concerning religion that takes place in much of the contemporary world.
Previous summer school topics were:
2007: Gender
2008: Multiculturalism
2009: Religion and politics
2010: Religion and culture in a globalizing world (two-day conference)
