Are you a PhD student in religious studies or a related field such as history, philosophy, theology, sociology, or anthropology? Are you looking for an opportunity to present your research and engage in dialogue with experienced academics and leading scholars, receiving constructive feedback and methodological insights? Are you interested in exploring new ways to communicate your research through storytelling and public engagement techniques? If so, we invite you to apply for the Forum on Religious Studies – FoReSt, a unique and innovative initiative designed to foster critical discussion in a dynamic, collaborative environment. Hosted at the prestigious Center for Religious Studies of the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK-ISR) in Trento, the forum offers a valuable opportunity to reflect on the content and methods of your research in dialogue with peers and experts.

“Alla prova del tempo. Religioni e civiltà,” a book collecting the Zordan Lectures 2020, 2021 and 2022 is out. It is the first title in the new ISR “Tridenti” series.

In the 20th and 21st centuries, where violence has scarred countless lives, the interplay between religion, politics and conflict remains a complex web. This volume seeks to unravel some of these knots, showing not only how faith can ignite bloodshed, but also how it can contribute to peace.
