2015 Spring Institute: Public Religion in a Secular World
Public Religion in a Secular World, May 4-15
Institute sessions run Monday-Friday from 12:30-4:30.
The 2015 Spring Institute “Public Religion in a Secular World” considers the myriad ways in which religious beliefs and practices manifest themselves in the public arena. We will interrogate the concept of “secularism”, examining how the notions of bounded public and private spaces affect religionists and non-religionists alike, albeit often in very different ways.

They will bring their areas of expertise to the Institute through focused disciplinary analyses and case studies from across the liberal arts. The course instructor is from the .
The Institute is an initiative of CLASS, a network of University of 澳门王中王论坛 faculty members researching the liberal arts and secular society.
