The Latin American Religious Alternatives Conference is the main event for reflecting on the religious phenomenon from an academic perspective in the region.

​

In 2024, thirty years will have passed since the creation of our Association of Social Sciences of Religion in Latin America. Throughout its existence, it has established itself as a privileged space for dialogue and academic discussion among researchers of religion in/about Latin America. Over the years, it has connected different generations of established and emerging scholars, promoted disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, influenced the shaping of regional research agendas, and worked to showcase our specialized production, becoming a reference point for what happens in our Latin American field.

​

We want to celebrate this trajectory and, at the same time, enhance it by opening our main event, the Conference, to an exchange with colleagues from other regions to position regional contributions in the discussion of religion from the global south and enrich our regional vision by thinking about ourselves in relation and dialogue with other contexts.

​

In this edition of our Conference, it has been recognized as a Regional Conference of the Association for the History of Religions (IAHR).

​

The event will be held in collaboration with the Research Committee on Sociology of Religion (RC22) of the International Sociological Association, with whom special activities will be developed.
