Call
This is an open call to invite doctoral and postdoctoral researchers to apply for the international Spring School “Science, Religion and Health”, that will take place in the city of Barcelona from 27 to 29 May 2026.
The application must be submitted no later than 8th March 2026
Successful candidates will be informed by 15th March 2026
Focus
The primary focus of the spring school is to provide a strong theoretical and methodological basis for early-career researchers doing social scientific research on the entanglements and boundaries between science religion and health. This edition will also place a special emphasis on how gender and sexual diversity shape, and are shaped, by these intersections. The Spring School is organized around a combination of public lectures by recognized scholars in this field and paper sessions where participants will present their ongoing research in small groups to get feedback. The program will also include one-to-one encounters between early-career scholars and senior scholars.
We welcome applicants working on these themes from a variety of disciplines including sociology, anthropology, history, religious studies, philosophy and political science. We ask applicants to submit an abstract and a CV. The selection committee will prioritise research that has an empirical dimension and is carried out from the perspective of social sciences or humanities.
