International Conference - "Maps and Mazes: Critical Inquiry at the Intersection of Religion and Health"
Urgent global and local humanitarian crises in HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, safe water, women's health, poverty, human migration, the environment require both innovative thinking and a reorientation of the way in which we understand the intersections of religion and health. In response to these pressing issues, Emory University's Religion and Health Collaborative joined colleagues in the African Religious Health Assets Programme (ARHAP) to call for a wider intellectual engagement in emerging concepts in the intersection between religion and health - to ground key research theories more deeply, frame new ways of empirically testing them, and improve praxis and collaborative work in our communities. Creative thinkers in the fields of religion, theology, public health, nursing, medicine, anthropology, ethics, and the social sciences were brought together to critically interrogate these emerging concepts and to explore their contributions to the larger study of religion and health. Presenters, respondents, moderators, and "provocateurs" from multiple disciplines and in a range of formats were paired to stimulate discussion and reflection. Faculty, students, and guests were also invited to propose poster presentations of current research for display and engagement throughout the week. |
