We hope to foster an inclusive research atmosphere in the faculty, both within the postgraduate student body and among academic staff, by providing this opportunity to learn more about specific research being undertaken outside individual labs and departments. Student presentations will be judged by a panel of Postdocs, with monetary prizes given for outstanding work.

Religious Communication Conference Primary information
| Date: |
Thursday November 26, 2009 to Friday November 27, 2009 |
| Location: |
Monash University Conference Centre , Melbourne City Office |
| Description: | The conference will focus on religious communication and religious aesthetic forms. The underlying impulse is to bring into dialogue scholarly work undertaken in religious studies and theology with debates and research in the fields of communications and cultural studies, including performance, literary, visual and aesthetic analyses. The premise of the conference is that communication and aesthetic forms play an active role in shaping a religious culture's sensibility rather than merely reflecting that religious community's ideology, logic or worldview. In short, religious communication makes religious experience meaningful, possible and effective. |
