SUMMARY:EASR 2024: "Nature, Ecology, and Religious Responses to Climate Change"
DESCRIPTION:The 21st Annual Conference of the European Association for the 
 Study of Religions\n\nGothenburg, Sweden\n\nNature, Ecology, and Religious 
 Responses to Climate Change\n\nThe earliest written sources in history indi
 cate that humans have always had thoughts, worries, and hopes about nature,
  ecological predicaments and how to explain and cope with climate and envir
 onmental hazards. However, with global warming, land erosion, deforestation
 , flooding, hurricanes, and pandemics, the nexus between the natural enviro
 nment and human activities have become more frightening, giving rise to apo
 calyptic and dystopian scenarios.\n\nIs the current crisis seen as a punish
 ment from divine powers or as conspiracies? Is it perceived as an act of hu
 mans’ need to repent and change their destructive way of life, or is it jus
 t part of a grand plan? Can religious beliefs and forms of spiritualities, 
 or the study of these, inhibit or inspire critical and visionary social sol
 utions and resilience on how issues regarding sustainable development may b
 e analyzed and developed? These and related questions are addressed at the 
 conference “Nature, Ecology and Religious Responses to Climate Change” at t
 he EASR meeting in 2024, hosted by the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.\n\
 nWhile the conference focuses on the current crisis, we also welcome panels
 , individual papers, and roundtables addressing historical aspects and more
  general discussions about nature, ecology, and religion.\n\nFurther inform
