[Edling] INVITATION: Oct. 9 Symposium "Material Approaches to Interreligious Education" at U. of Cambridge

[Anastasia Rachel Badder via Edling]

Dear All,

The Cambridge Interfaith Programme and University of Cambridge Faculty of Education are pleased to invite you to the symposium "Material Approaches to Interreligious Education".

The symposium will take place on October 9 from 12-4pm (BST) at the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge.  This event is free to attend, but we ask that you register here<https://www.interfaith.cam.ac.uk/events/symposium-material-approaches-interreligious-education.>.

Detailed symposium description:

Immerse yourself in thought-provoking discussions and gain valuable insights from scholars in anthropology, education, and other fields. Discover innovative teaching methods and explore diverse perspectives on interreligious education.

Exploring material approaches to interreligious education in dialogue, this event aims to cultivate cross-disciplinary, cross-sector discussion among researchers and practitioners working in this domain. Together, we will discuss the key question: What might material objects and their affordances offer to challenging encounters, conversations, and relations across religious diversities?

The symposium will open with a cross-disciplinary introduction to the material turn, followed by a panel on meaningful objects featuring researchers and practitioners from across geographic, historical, and sociocultural and religious contexts.  After a break for lunch (provided), the symposium will resume with a hands-on workshop led by the Faith and Belief Forum focused on object-oriented pedagogies for teaching about religious diversities and facilitating interreligious encounter and exchange in the classroom and beyond.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Kind regards,

Anastasia Badder

Dr Anastasia Badder, Research Associate, Faculty of Divinity & Cambridge Interfaith Programme | University of Cambridge
