The Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion at Lancaster
University invites you to a three day conference in late September to
explore Asian religious and moral values in the context of
contemporary debates regarding human rights, social justice, the
environment, gender, and other issues.
Description of Conference
We invite papers that address values and social justice within the
context of Asian religious, philosophical, cultural, and political
traditions. In addition to offering Asian ideas of justice and
religious values as important additions or alternatives to Western
perspectives, this conference will put different Asian perspectives
in dialogue with each other. We encourage paper and panel proposals

selection of revised papers from the conference will be published in
an edited book.
