Conferences
This four year project featured a series of annual conferences and workshops that brought together scholars and professionals, from the U.S. and abroad, for sustained inquiry and conversation. The first conference, Religion, the Secular and Democracy: Competing Narratives, Alternative Models, was held in 2007 at Arizona State University. The second and third conferences were held in Istanbul (July, 2008) and Delhi (January, 2009), and the final conference, held at Arizona State University (March, 2010), focused explicitly on the issue of gender, considering how gender and contentions over the role of women are implicated in the dynamics of religion and secularism in the contemporary world.
