It aims to reconnect philosophers of religion with religious practitioners and so to make the work of philosophers of religion far more relevant to other contemporary research on religion. For more details, including events, aims, resources and the call for papers for the first workshop, see: philosophyreligion.wordpress.com<http://philosophyreligion.wordpress.com/> The details for the first workshop are as follows: The Humanities and Lived Religion: Philosophy, Religious Studies and the Impact Agenda A One-Day Workshop at the University of Liverpool Thursday 9th May 2013 This one-day workshop is the first in a series for the Philosophy and Religious Practices research network, funded by the AHRC under their Connected Communities programme, organised by the University of Liverpool, University of Chester, Liverpool Hope University and religious organisations in the North-West. This initial workshop will discuss possible models and ways of thinking about the impact that research on religion in the Humanities has on religious practitioners, as well as, conversely, the ways in which practitioners impact research in the academy. The event is free and open to all (the public and academics). TO REGISTER: email daniel.whistler[at]liv.ac.uk with you name, affiliation, dietary and motility requirements. Lunch is provided. Central will be the following themes: * The state of research on religion in the UK and its social impact * The contribution philosophy of religion can make to contemporary research on religion * Methods for measuring the impact of research on religion, and of Humanities research on religion in particular * The relationship between philosophy of religion and other Humanities disciplines, especially religious studies and practical or applied theology * The concepts of ‘material religion’ and ‘lived religion’, and their relationship to the philosophy of religion * The possibility of a philosophy of material, lived or everyday religion Future events include: Tuesday 25th June 2013 Buddhism and Human Flourishing A one-day workshop at the University of Chester Wednesday 18th September 2013 Peace and Peacebuilding: Religious and Philosophical Reflections on Social Flourishing A one-day workshop at Liverpool Hope University April 2014 Philosophy, Religion and Public Policy A two-day international conference at the University of Chester To find out more, philosophyreligion.wordpress.com<http://philosophyreligion.wordpress.com/>.
