Foundations in Science and Religion: Boundaries of Theory & Practice

Dates TBC; CFP open

The "Foundations" Conference is The Forum's dedicated space for early‑career researchers exploring the rich, complex intersections between scientific inquiry and religious thought. This event provides an intellectually supportive environment where emerging scholars can develop foundational skills, exchange ideas, and engage critically with the theoretical and practical dimensions of the field. This conference explores the dynamic and sometimes contested borders between scientific understanding and religious interpretation, asking how these two influential domains shape— and are shaped by— one another in contemporary thought and practice.

As scientific knowledge expands and religious traditions continue to evolve, questions emerge about where boundaries should be drawn, how they shift, and what happens when they overlap. This conference examines these issues through interdisciplinary lenses, bringing together voices from theology, philosophy, history, the natural and social sciences, and professional practice. By focusing on the boundaries of theory and practice, this event aims not only to map the current landscape of science and religion studies but also to empower the next generation of scholars to shape its future.
