Faiths & Civil Society Unit Public Seminar Series 2019: Grassroots faith movements and partnerships of hope

As part of their 2019 public seminar series on ‘Religion, Belief and Brexit: challenges and opportunities’, Goldsmiths University are hosting a panel discussion featuring contributors in a variety of fields, to reflect on how they see the role of religion and belief in the context of Brexit.

Does Brexit shape the trajectories and impacts of religion and belief in the public sphere in ways that might be different from expected, and if so, how? As and when the UK begins to move away from a sense of crisis, to a new sense of identity and place in the world, where and how do religion and belief fit? What role do religion and belief play in the problems and the solutions expressed by Brexit?

Featuring:

• Matthew Barber (Spaces of Hope)
• Martin Hasani (London Queer Muslims)
• Julie Siddiqui (Sadaqa Day)
• Laura Marks (Mitzvah Day)
