Dear Colleagues,

The Philosophy of Religions Workshop is soliciting paper proposals for the 2024-2025 academic year. With the goal of providing a collaborative space to think through projects at varying stages of completion, we invite works in progress that include, but are not limited to, seminar papers, conference papers, dissertation proposals, dissertation chapters, exam papers, papers being prepared for publication, and other academic projects such as syllabi and translations.

The discipline of the Philosophy of Religions takes up at the interface between philosophical and religious thought, drawing from a broad range of philosophical and religious source materials from across geographic and historical boundaries. We welcome works on a variety of subjects. This year, we especially encourage submissions that critically reflect on the philosophy of religions as a discipline, a methodology, and/or a product of history. We are also interested in research that explores the challenges and capabilities of the philosophy of religions to address issues of social, political, and scientific and technological relevance. In line with last year’s agenda, we furthermore encourage submissions from those working in nonwestern traditions or at the interface between western and nonwestern thought, particularly those historically underrepresented in the workshop, including Islamic, Meso-and South American, and African philosophy. Nevertheless, any and all papers on philosophy of religions, even beyond these themes, are more than welcome.

Students from all degree programs are encouraged to participate. If you are interested in presenting, please email tarynsue@uchicago.edu and hkang01@uchicago.edu with:

·  type of submission
·  brief description
·  tentative title
·  your program/department affiliation

The workshop will meet on Tuesdays at 5pm. Locations will be announced with each event as they are publicized.

Finally, as we look ahead to the coming year, we have continued to reflect on how the workshop can best serve the Divinity School community and broader university community in the midst of the social crises through which we are now living, including sustained protests in response to state-sanctioned violence against disenfranchised communities and imminent ecological disaster. It’s our hope that the workshop can support philosophical reflection to develop new modes of coming together, now and in the future.  

Best regards,
Taryn Sue and Yeti Kang
