The department's graduate students organize a major conference every year. Centered around timely themes such as "Religion, Activism, and Social Change", "Body, Gender, and Sexuality," and "Religion, Ideology, and Violence," the conference attracts students from across Canada and the United States to present and share their research. Serving on the organizing committee is a great way to meet and work with fellow students while organizing the department's largest yearly event. It takes a village to plan a conference and we welcome new volunteers to serve on the organizing committee every year!
