The workshop will take place on 21 and 22 July 2022 at the a.r.t.e.s. Graduate School for the Humanities Cologne and will be organized by the Gerda Henkel research group \u201cReligion und Moderne in den USA: Psychologie und Lebenswissenschaften an evangelikalen Colleges seit der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts\u201d (Stefanie Coch\u00e9, JLU Gie\u00dfen, Stephan Monissen, JLU Gie\u00dfen and Sophia Egbert, a.r.t.e.s. Graduate School for the Humanities Cologne).<\/p>\n

While most experts agree that \u201ethere has never been systemic warfare between science and religion, \u201c[1]<\/a>\u00a0we are still lacking knowledge about religious approaches to science. This is especially true when it comes to conservative religious groups. Evangelicals for example are still widely labeled as anti-intellectual although they have been very successful in building colleges and universities. These institutions of higher education offer numerous Bachelor, Master and even PHD degrees and they have successfully applied for accreditation in many different disciplines. Against this backdrop the workshop is interested in historical (and \/or ethnological and sociological) case studies dealing with conservative religious institutions of higher education since WWII. Focusing on case studies we intend to discuss singular settings (\u201ewhose science and which religion\u201c[2]<\/a>) as well as entanglements and comparisons between different cases in order to broaden our perspective. We are interested in all kinds of religious groups \u2013 monotheistic, polytheistic, and others \u2013 and in all academic disciplines (including the humanities). Our working definition for conservative religious groups with regard to science is that they do not share the \u201eliberal\u201c conviction that religion and science should coexist but not intermingle. Thus, we intend to shed light on all kinds of attempts to frame and do science from a decisively religious point of view and its broader implications on modern societies:<\/p>\n
