RELIGION, ECOLOGY & JUSTICE
Young Theologians/Activists Meet 2023
Jointly Organized by Delhi Forum (DF) & Christian Institute for the Study of Religion and Society (CISRS)
March 23-25, 2023 @ South Asian Study and Research Centre, CISRS House, 14 Jangpura B, Mathura Road, New Delhi
Objectives: (1) To equip young theologians to respond creatively to the cause of environmental justice in conversation with academicians and activists; (2) To bring young theologians in contact with young researchers/activists to be sensitive to the political epistemology of the eco-social/political movements; (3) To formulate a radical political theology of the earth enmeshed with the politics of survival and resistance of the communities that depend on natural resources—the commons.
leaders: Joerg Rieger, Felix Padel, Ashish Kothari, Vasundhara Jairath, Prafulla Samantara, Lingaraj Azad, A.J. Vijayan, Nicholas Chinnappan, Ajitha Susan George, Ashok Chowdhury & George Zachariah
