Charting Challenges and Change: The Past, Present and Future of the Sociology of Religion
BSA Sociology of Religion Study Group (SocRel) 50th Anniversary Annual Conference 2025
14–16 July 2025
Durham University, UK
About the Event
After a vibrant meeting at Northumbria University in 2024, the SocRel Study Group is thrilled to announce its 50th anniversary conference, which will be held at Durham University from 14–16 July 2025.
We look forward to expanding our research community and reconnecting with our current members and colleagues. In honour of the study group’s 50th anniversary, an increased number of conference bursaries will be available for the 2025 annual conference, prioritising postgraduates, early career researchers, those on precarious contracts, and those without recourse to institutional funding or research budgets.
Among the exciting contributions confirmed are:
- keynote lecture by Professor Linda Woodhead and Professor Gordon Lynch
- insights from the ongoing Race and Class in UK Religious Studies and Theology project
- exploration of SocRel’s history led by Dr Sarah Harvey.
We look forward to seeing you in July!
With warmest wishes,
The SocRel Committee
