SUMMARY:Spring Seminar: Religious Literacy? Critical assessments and applications
LOCATION:Uppsala University 
DESCRIPTION:<p>About the course:</p><p style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0cm; mar
 gin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span 
 style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">The concept of relig
 ious literacy has gained renewed interest following the enhanced visibility
  and contestation of religion in contemporary European societies. Grace Dav
 ie, professor emerita in sociology of religion, writes in her book </span><
 span style="color: #000000;"><i><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-seri
 f;">Religion in Britain. A Persistent Paradox</span></i><span style="font-f
 amily: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> (2015: 65): &ldquo;at precisely the moment whe
 n they are most needed British people are losing the vocabulary, tools and 
 concepts that they require in order to have a constructive conversation abo
 ut faith. The result all too often is an ill-informed and ill-mannered deba
 te about issues of extreme importance to the democratic future of this coun
 try&rdquo;.</span></span></span></p><p style="line-height: normal; margin-t
 op: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="color: black;
  font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Literacy
  as a concept originates from studies of literature and is commonly used in
  educational studies. The working definition of religious literacy (Dinham 
 and Jones 2010: 6) stresses knowledge of religious faith, but also skills a
 nd readiness to acknowledge the legitimacy of religious faith in public dis
 course, and ability to develop an understanding of others&rsquo; religion. 
 This highlights how religious literacy encompasses a descriptive aspect by 
 referring to knowledge of religion, but also a normative aspect that concer
 ns what religious literacy does: that is contributing to acceptance of the 
 legitimacy of religion and understanding of others&rsquo; religious faith. 
 This aspect of religious literacy is also salient in applications of the co
 ncept within state policy and health care professions. </span></span></p><p
