Religious Literacy and Religious Pluralism: New Directions for Research

21–23 October 2026, University of Helsinki, Finland

We are organizing a multidisciplinary symposium in October 2026, bringing together international experts on religious literacy and religious pluralism to discuss future directions in the field. Questions we seek to examine include (but are not limited to): How to best define religious literacy? Does religious literacy work and how can we know if it works? What is the relationship between religious literacy and religious pluralism? How are religious literacy and power intertwined?  

You can find more information on the symposium website. If you have any questions, please contact us at religiousliteracy@helsinki.fi.

Looking forward to seeing you in Helsinki in October 2026!
