Social Imaginaries between Secularity and Religion in a Globalizing World

About Us

SIMAGINE International Research Consortium

SIMAGINE is a platform for research exchange exploring the role of social imaginaries in a pluralistic, globalizing world. We aim to address current realities through academic research that focuses on the issue of imaginary borders between religion and secular society, and that pays special attention to decolonial perspectives. Through critical and collaborative analyses, our interdisciplinary research intervenes into the realms of media, art, and education, 


Partners

We are an interdisciplinary platform where philosophers, social scientists, political theorists, and religious scholars from a variety of educational institutions and research centres participate in projects deconstructing the social imaginaries that determine the 21st century. 

Projects

We have organized seven international colloquia and conferences, participated in three collaborative publications, and contributed to thematic panels on general conferences around the world.
