The long vacation is here. Learn some of what our summer holds — plus a preview of our Alumni Festival series (bookings open 15 July), publications news & chance to catch up on some recent happenings.

First, a reminder for this weekend’s intimate conversation between Dutch rap artist Mula and Cambridge researcher Floris.

The religious voices shaping European street culture are often overlooked. Join Divinity PhD researcher Floris Bosscher this Sunday as he devotes proper attention to rap and religion via an intimate conversation with Dutch rapper Mula Moes. Only a couple of spaces remain, so act quickly if you’d like one!

Can educational practices developed over centuries within religious traditions offer a truly inclusive learning experience?

Last month, author & intellectual historian Satnam Singh gave an evening lecture exploring how early Sikhs interacted with their Muslim peers’ ideas. A recording is available courtesy of Cambridge University Sikh Society.

This may be a convenient moment to remind those on our mailing list — if you declare specific interests (such as Education), we can alert you to relevant opportunities and resources. Head to https://cikh.civi360.com/opt-in.

After a student-led symposium in a heatwave, this online special brings missing papers on Franciscan convents in Mexico and Chechnya’s Black widows, plus further discussion at the intersection of academic and religious freedom. 

Our Communities of Research & Practice continue to meet regularly online. Each session lasts 45 minutes.

Our original CoRP focuses on themes of community, discrimination & inclusion, now meeting on the second Monday of the month. 

The Faith & Ecology CoRP meets on the fourth Monday of the month, hearing from Cambridge researchers and external practitioners.

We are trialling three new formats at this year’s Alumni Festival, building on the intellectual traditions of Cambridge study. From Thinking Together with Daniel Weiss, to New Book club with Dr Stefan Williamson Fa. 

Bookings open on 15 July. All CIP sessions are on Friday 18 September.
