Copenhagen Colloquium – Children and Religion
This colloquium will engage international scholars in a common discussion about the ‘relationship’ between children and religion and the ways in which scholars study this relationship. Which understandings of ‘children’ are informing contemporary studies of religion, spirituality and cognition – and which understandings of ‘religion’ are informing contemporary studies of children and youth in diverse settings? The colloquium will comprise a combination of keynote presentations and workshops.
