Religion and Environment: Relations and Relationality

Conference of the International Society for the Study of Religion, Nature, and Culture

February 18-28, 2021

Hosted virtually by Arizona State University’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Lab

This is a time of pandemic and disruption, a year in which struggles for racial and economic justice can no longer be ignored. In that spirit, and in the interest of protecting the health of our members, the ISSRNC is postponing its in-person conference until 2022. This year we are partnership with Arizona State University to hold this nearly-carbon neutral virtual conference. 

Key Dates

Land Acknowledgement

The ISSRNC acknowledges the twenty-two Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University’s four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) communities, whose care and keeping of these lands and waters allows us to be here today. We acknowledge the sovereignty of these nations and seek to foster and promote Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within the academy and in our Society. We welcome members of the Akimel O’odham, Pee Posh, and all Indigenous nations to our 2021 conference
