17-18 July 2024
On 17 and 18 July 2024, the ICLRS held a Law and Religion Pedagogy Workshop at Christ Church, University of Oxford. Day one focused on sharing best teaching practices in the field of law and religion. Day two focused on discussing updates to the forthcoming third edition of the casebook Law and Religion: National, International, and Comparative Perspectives (W. Cole Durham, Jr., and Brett G. Scharffs).
Participants included Young Scholars alumni who teach law and religion in their home countries, as well as ICLRS associates who have translated the casebook into Burmese, Bahasa Indonesian, Hebrew, Russian, and Spanish. Also in attendance were leaders from the Institute for Global Engagement (IGE) who coordinate the certificate training programs the ICLRS has helped facilitate for years in Myanmar, Vietnam, and elsewhere.
Professor Renáta Uitz, of the University of London and the Democracy Institute at Central European University in Budapest, is joining the casebook’s third edition (2025) as a coauthor.
