Call for Panel Participants: Science, Religion and Public Policy

Professor Arthur Petersen (UCL/Editor of Zygon) is seeking participants to participate in a panel on science, religion and public policy at the forthcoming International Network for the Study of Science and Belief in Society Conference in Birmingham from 4-6 July, 2019.

Contributions are sought on the topic of “science, religion, and public policy”: within science and religion (and as a subset, within the social scientific study of science and religion) there is a small but increasingly salient body of academic work on science, religion, and public policy—work that, on the one hand, addresses areas of public policy connected with the domain of science, technology, and engineering, and, on the other hand, deploys empirical study of the role of worldviews and religion in these policy settings. Examples of policy areas are flood-risk management, climate change mitigation and adaptation, biotechnology, and many more.
