CFP: Religious Trauma Symposium (Harvard Divinity School)

Deadline: January 30, 2026

Call for Submissions: Religious Trauma Symposium Harvard Divinity School April 16-17, 2026

Scope: Religious trauma, defined here as lingering harm within religious and spiritual contexts which creates barriers to physical, emotional, existential, social, psychological, developmental, and spiritual wellbeing, is a subject of mounting scholarly and popular attention with direct implications for the challenges of modernity. Recent work on religious disaffiliation (McLaughlin et al.), religious “dones” (Van Tongeren), and spiritual struggles (Excline) highlights the influence of religious trauma in demographic changes around the world, particularly in the United States. Yet despite academic and professional interest across fields as diverse as psychology, education, and religious studies growing in tandem with parallel discourses among survivors and religious practitioners alike, there has yet to be an event designed to bring these various circles into direct dialogue with one another.
