AboutReligion and humanitarianism have always been closely intertwined historically. Yet we know very little about how religion has shaped the meaning and practices of humanitarianism; why, whether, and how faith matters for trying to relieve the suffering of distant strangers; and whether and how different religions operate with similar or contrasting visions of humanitarianism. Addressing these questions -- not only in the abstract but also in the context of humanitarian operations and everyday practices -- will help advance our knowledge of contemporary humanitarianism; comparative religious practices; and the world order that is being imagined, contested, and created. SponsorsThis workshop is sponsored by a generous grant from the Luce Foundation, with additional support from the University of Minnesota, the University of Toronto, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, American University in Cairo, and the Social Science Research Council.
