    Conference Theme: A Call for Unity, Inclusivity, and Intersectionality

    Division 36 invites you to submit a session proposal for the 2024 Mid-Year Conference on Spiritual and Religious Perspectives in Psychology. This conference is being held April 18-20, 2024, in Princeton, NJ at the Princeton Theological Seminary Wright Library.

    The theme of our conference is "A Call for Unity, Inclusivity, and Intersectionality." We want to welcome the diversity of spiritual and religious perspectives in psychology from around the world. We envision a psychology that emanates from both indigeneity and conventional religious practices. In our current global times, let us unite, include, and embrace our unique, different, and similar transpersonal values and practices across multiculturally diverse populations. We also acknowledge how intersectional factors within our sense of being render our spiritual and religious psychological perspectives more complex. The call seeks to bring experts who consider, emphasize, and liberate the intersectional nature of spirituality, religiosity, and well-being. Finally, we are excited to increase dialogue and highlight evidence-based spiritual and religious practices that foster well-being in research, training, and practice.

    We strongly emphasize the following topics and welcome proposals on them: 

    • Indigenous spiritual healing practices of salience to one’s identity and psychological well-being. 
    • Spiritual practices from multiculturally diverse communities around the world. 
    • Conventional religious practices of salience to identity and psychological well-being of intersectional communities, including race, gender, LGBTQIAA+, immigration status, ethnicity, indigenous status, disabilities, and many others. 
    • Interventions and practices that foster unity, pluralism, and love across spiritual and religious identities. 
    • Pluralist analyses that critically address complex historical and contemporary factors in our current global climate on religious and spiritual identity.  

    We will also consider proposals on other topics related to theories, research, and clinical practices related to the psychology of religion and spirituality.

    We highly encourage the submission of interdisciplinary proposals.
