The Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry's Rome seminar series commenced in September 2015, when ACU's Rome Campus was opened. The series has drawn together international scholars to discuss critical questions in religion and theology from multidisciplinary perspectives.
Providing a collaborative space to craft ideas in conversation with other researchers, the seminars are a practical expression of our ongoing commitment to world-leading research, stimulating international research collaboration, advancing transnational research student education, and communicating innovative research to a public audience.
Research arising from the seminars has been published by high-quality journals and publishers such as Theological Studies, Modern Theology, Cambridge University Press, The University of Chicago Press, Bloomsbury and De Gruyter.
