Public Events and Activities
Given the public relevance of religion, the VDTR regularly organises events for audiences inside and outside the university, including science communication initiatives, book launches of our PhD candidates, and discussions with academics, civil society, and policymakers. Many of our events spotlight the work of our PhD candidates.
21 October, 5pm: VDTR Public Lecture with Prof. Sebastian Gäb
Actual problems and critical situations – such as ecological crisis and political disruption – have more and more shown the need for a thought that can be effective, but nonetheless not all-encompassing. This conference - organised by VDTR PhD candidates - proposes "experimenting philosophy of religion" as field, method and a performative mode of exchange: a practice of inquiry that acknowledges precarity and embraces provisional possibilities of thinking.
As part of the conference, the organisers kindly invite you to a public evening event:
17.00 Public Key Note by Sebastian Gäb (Munich): “Now what? Philosophy of Religion at the Crossroads”
18.30 Podium Discussion with Kurt Appel, Sandra Lehmann, Moritz Maurer, Miriam Metze and Christoph Rogers on “Issues, challenges and perspectives of Philosophy of Religion”
20.00 Performance by Noemi Call (Vienna): A Guest in Con-fusio: A Performance on Staying with Uncertainty in Philosophy of Religion
Place: Dean‘s Hall of the Faculty of Catholic Theology, Main Building of the University of Vienna, 2nd Floor, 2nd Staircase
