The CRSA is proud to support the 21st Annual Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference! The Annual Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference (AGIC) began in 1995 as a doctoral project in the Department of Religion at Concordia University, Montreal. Since its inception, it has grown to feature research in topical and critical areas, with a broad range of subjects in the humanities and social sciences, with themes such as Reasonable Accommodation, Reciprocity in Theory and Practice, Embodied Religion, Crime and Punishment, the Afterlife, Liminal Spaces, Sexy Religion, and more. It has featured specific papers about Batman films, Satanic religions, the politics of immigration, food preparation, Buddhist shrines, pilgrimage, community identity, death practices, and sexuality. The AGIC showcases excellence in research within a welcoming professional atmosphere. We hope to continue to present innovative and creative work for domestic and international graduates.
You are invited to participate in a one-day arts-based interfaith workshop for young adults from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim, communities. Monday, February 23rd – 9:30 a.m. – 17:00 p.m. Free with lunch and snacks provided (all vegetarian, with Kosher options available) and transportation reimbursement. Location (TBD) at Concordia University You are invited to be a part of a one- day arts based interfaith workshop with the goal to increase dialogue and exchange among Jewish, Christian, and Muslim, young adults. The participants will include men and women ages 18-26, three from each religious community. Whereas interfaith dialogue has mostly involved verbal communication, there is growing evidence that an especially effective way to build trust and mutual understanding is by engaging in emotionally meaningful joint activities and creative projects. To that aim in this workshop participants will have an opportunity to work together through the use of art, drama, writing, and music.
