Co-Sponsorship In-person November Annual Meeting 2025

CO-SPONSORSHIP: Religion, Media & Culture Unit and Religions, Medicines, and Healing Unit

Call for Proposals

"Healing & Religion in the Digital Era"

How do religious or spiritual healing discourses and practices evolve amidst new technologies, digitality, and the (mis)information era? How is religious authority and expertise in health and medicine re-evaluated within online spaces? We welcome analyses of illness, affliction, and suffering across religious traditions, geographic regions, and forms of new media. We are particularly interested in how fractured identities, political divides, structural violence, and/or colonialism impact the affliction and healing of social bodies through material and/or digital spaces.
