455 - Section on Sociology of Religion Paper Session. Changing the Conversation on Science and Religion: Culture, Movements, and New Frontiers
Mon, August 22, 4:30 to 6:10pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session 100min
Description
Science and religion are each issues of longstanding interest to sociologists, and their intersection has been receiving increased attention from contemporary scholars. Whereas science and religion have conventionally been viewed as oppositional, a growing body of research highlights possible compatibilities and intersections between these two ways of knowing. This session seeks to bring into dialogue recent advances in sociological understandings of science and religion (at the level of individuals, organizations, states, etc.) and their implications for culture, social movements, and other domains of social life.
