The Department for the Study of Religion (DSR) and the Religion Undergraduate Student Association (RUSA) are jointly hosting the 4th annual Undergraduate Student Conference on the Study of Religion at the University of Toronto on Tuesday, April 8, 2025.
All undergraduate students with an interest in the study of religion are most welcome to attend. Come listen to fellow students speak about a variety of topics and connect over shared interests!
Call for Papers
The conference will feature presentations of original writing and research by undergraduate students. This year we would like our conference topics to focus specifically on underrepresented themes and underrepresented communities, but we will consider all proposals related to the academic study of religion.
Presentations will be limited to 10 minutes with a short question period. Those interested in presenting should submit a proposal that describes the central focus of your presentation in 200-250 words. Proposals must be submitted by 11:59pm ET on February 23, 2025 via https://forms.office.com/r/H4PRV3qYPJ
The conference committee will conduct a blind review process, and no identifying information will be shared with them.
If you have any questions, please email religion.undergrad@utoronto.ca.
