Religion and Urban Ecology
Religion and Urban Ecology Conference
March 1-2, 2024
Albertus Magnus College (New Haven, CT)
Rapid global urbanization and its environmental pressures led to the emergence of
“Urban Ecology,” examining urban ecosystems through disciplines across the natural sciences, social sciences, and
humanities. Meanwhile, Religious Studies has seen the recent emergence of scholarship on Religion and Cities and Religion and Ecology. This conference seeks to catalyze a conversation that has so far received little
direct attention: Religion and Urban Ecology.
Presenters from a variety of fields will present their research on the interaction between religion and urban ecology. Scholars, practitioners, and community members are welcome to attend. This academic conference is hosted by the Urban Studies program, co-sponsored by the Eckhart Center, and supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
