24.-25. März 2022: Das Zentrum Theologie Interkulturell und Studium der Religionen veranstaltet am 24. und 25. März 2022 an der Katholisch-Theologischen Fakultät der Universität Salzburg eine interdisziplinäre Tagung zum Thema „Provokation Religion“. 

Welcome to our first Summer School of the Crossculture Religious Studies Project, which will take place in Salzburg from 1st– 5th August 2022.

During these four days you will hear various different aspects of crossculture religious studies , e.g. ‘Crossculture- a methodical must in Religious Studies?’ or ‘Buddhist–Muslim Relations in Southeast Asia’, from different professors of the participating universities Haifa, Munich, Seoul, Nairobi, Yogyakarta and Salzburg. Religions are global and local phenomena that are deeply connected with tradition, language and culture of certain places. They are also reaching out at the same time to ask timeless questions of the meaning of life, the condition of human existence and ethical implications. Religious Studies, therefore, always has to be intercultural and interdisciplinary. We believe the best way to understand religion is by raising questions and pursuing answers about it with a multiperspective attitude. Religious Studies is and should be a crossculture project. Postcolonial debates have just started to itemize various aspects of this agenda. This summer school and the Crossculture Religious Studies Project are academic arenas, in which we can learn from each other how to understand our world with different perspectives.

Ab 7. März 2022: Während des Sommersemesters 2022 werden Imam Dr. Benjamin Idriz und Rabbi Steven Langnas als Gastlehrende am Zentrum Theologie Interkulturell und Studium der Religionen und für Religious Studies gemeinsam Lehrveranstaltungen zum Thema „Rabbiner und Imam: Zur Rolle religiöser Experten“ anbieten.
