Date: 6 November 2015
Time: 9am – 5pm
Venue: Trinity Long Room Hub, Trinity College Dublin
A one-day interdisciplinary conference organised by Trinity College Dublin in association with the Centre for Law and Religion, Cardiff Law School.
‘Law and Religion’ has become a recognised sub-discipline in USA and UK Law Schools, analogous to family law or sports law, with specialist journals and dedicated research centres. The Law and Religion Scholars Network (LARSN) – an association set up for those who teach and / or research in the field – now has over 200 members.
The Irish context
Contemporary Irish society provides a rich context for a discussion of key issues in the field. A series of referenda on matters central to traditional Irish identity has re-calibrated popular religiosity, irrevocably changed attitudes towards institutional authority, and ushered in an awareness of the centrality of religious freedom in the vision of human rights.
