Faith & Globalisation Programme Durham University


Seminars Regular series of Seminars


The Faith and Globalisation Programme runs a regular series of Seminars in which special guests from the UK and beyond are invited to share their ongoing research interests or particular public engagements with faith and religion in an atmosphere of frank discussion and mutual learning.


People from different religious faiths or none are welcome as both speakers and participants. The Seminars are open to anyone interested in joining in the discussions. The MA students are required


Some past Seminars and speakers:


• Religion and Globalisation: What are the Issues? (Jeffrey Haynes, London Metropolitan University)


• Economics, Business and Religion in Public Life: Promoting Globalisation for the Common Good (Kamran Mofid, Globalisation for the Common Good Initiative)


• Religion and Globalisation: Making a Case for the Latin American Contribution (Paul Freston, Wilfrid Laurier University/University of Waterloo)


• Climate Change, Faith and the Global Common Good (Michael Northcott, Edinburgh University)


• Globalizing Bioethics: Religion, Principlism and Holism at the South Asian Crossroads (Katherine Young, McGill University)


• Sport, Faith and Globalisation: Prior Research Fields and some Future Possibilities (Richard Giulianotti, Durham University)


• Deeper, Broader, Smarter? The Democratic Potential (and Pitfalls) of Non-Electoral Representative Claims: The Case of 'Faith Representatives' (Vivien Lowndes, DeMontfort University)


• Constructing a 'Post-Secular' Public Theology (Elaine Graham, Chester University)


to attend such Seminars as an additional means to interact with experienced researchers or practitioners and expand their learning experience.


In the context of the Faith and Globalisation Initiative there is an intention to foster intellectual exchanges between the partner universities, and special Seminars and classes will occasionally be held via video-conferencing. This will also be used as a teaching tool in the context of the MA core module, Religion and Globalisation.
