<\/p>\nAbstract<\/h5>\n
Scholars exploring the relationship between religion and the environment have tended to focus on the present and future issues affecting the global north (Europe and America), on formulating systematic theologies grounded in these contexts, on ethics, and on ecology. Although scholarly interest in both environmental history and the approach of religions in Asia to environmental issues is developing across the globe and across multiple disciplines and has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, little scholarly work has been conducted into the historical responses of religious actors and movements to natural and man-made environmental disasters in Asia. Nevertheless, the history of religious responses to environmental issues has the potential to inform both religious and secular practices and understandings of the environmental challenges facing humankind today making its study essential to shaping our evolving responses to global warming, epidemics, drought, and pollution across the world.<\/p>\n
Kindly funding by the Resona Foundation for Asia and Oceania<\/a> and sponsored by Waseda University\u2019s Waseda Institute for Advanced Study<\/a> we are thrilled to announce the organization of an interdisciplinary and international hybrid symposium on “Religious and Theological Responses to Environmental Disaster in Asian History” which will be held at Waseda University, Tokyo on 27th-28th of January, 2024. Scholars working within anthropology, history, theology, and religious studies based primarily in Asia and Europe will be invited to speak at the conference with attendees joining both in-person and online.<\/p>\n The goal of the symposium is to share research on religious responses to environmental disasters from different geographical spaces (within Asia), different historical periods, and different disciplines both between participants and with the public. It is hoped that this will result in the formulation of new theoretical frameworks for understanding the history of the relationship between religion and the environment in Asia, serve as a basis for further collaborative research, and increase public knowledge of environmental history more generally. Furthermore, the symposium will lead to the publication of an edited volume written in English which will be disseminated both within Japan and abroad.<\/p>\n Dunja Sharbat Dar<\/strong> (Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum) January 27 (Sat) 10:00~17:25 & January 28 (Sun) 10:00~17:00<\/p>\n Hybrid Session (Online\/Zoom participation available)<\/p>\n \u25c6Room 309, 3rd Floor, Building 19, Waseda Campus, Waseda University<\/p>\n English<\/p>\n January 27, Saturday\u300010:00~17:25<\/strong> January 28, Sunday\u300010:00~17:00<\/strong> Students, Faculty members, Research members, General participants<\/p>\n Waseda Institute for Advanced Study (WIAS) Resona Foundation for Asia and Oceania<\/p>\n Prior regirstration is required for In-person and Online participation. *Free Attendance In-Person or Online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Religious and Theological Responses to Environmental Disaster in Asian History (1\/27\u30fb1\/28) PDF Abstract […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":2764,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[82,94,73],"class_list":["post-14534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-events-en","tag-general-en","tag-research-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14534"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14534\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14833,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14534\/revisions\/14833"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/wias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Speakers<\/h5>\n
