This conference invites discussion about the dynamic dimensions of interfaith dialogue and multi-faith action across a range of social change issues. Innovative and inclusive, it will open the debate to include academic perspectives and grass-roots voices from both the margins and the mainstream that will allow for broad encounters about the current state and future direction of issues concerning interfaith and social change.

Registration is now open. Details of papers and a provisional programme are now available.

It is expected that a selection of papers from the conference will be published.
