Welcome to an interdisciplinary summer school and conference “Religion: Concealed and Revealed” to be held 9-12 June 2025 in Turku/Åbo.
The summer school and conference is organized by the Centre for the Study of Christian Cultures, the Donner Institute for Research in Religion and Culture, and the Inez and Julius Polin Institute for Theological Research.
The aim is to bring together doctoral candidates and researchers from various academic fields that engage with the study of religion, such as theology, study of religions, history, philosophy, the arts, social and political sciences and other.
The event starts with the summer school, on 9–10 June, where doctoral candidates are given the opportunity to present and discuss their ongoing PhD work in a cross-disciplinary, international setting. The summer school consists of working groups, tutored by the keynote presenters and other academic teachers. There will also be a special stream of panels for Scandinavian PhD students focusing on esotericism, arranged in collaboration with SNASWE – Scandinavian Network for the Academic Study of Western Esotericism.
Postdoc and senior researchers will present their papers in the conference from 11 to 12 June. Doctoral candidates are encouraged to stay for the conference sessions as well.
