The failure to identify the conceptual complexity and interactive relations in racist thinking has led to universalist and exclusionary definitions of racist thinking and limited conceptions of the constellations of race and religion. Because the supposed universal definitions of racist thinking are formulated from particular regions of the trans-Atlantic, it has led to the masking and rejection of other formations of racist thinking from other regions of the trans-Atlantic. To avoid this, this article proposes a Trans-Atlantic Interactive and Relational Approach (TAIRA) that can help us to continue unmasking and understanding the trans-Atlantic connections between race and religion.","PeriodicalId":43214,"journal":{"name":"Critical Research on Religion","volume":"10 1","pages":"137 - 152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41877266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anthroposophical deniers of climate science usually do not contest the existence of global warming, but they ascribe it to “cosmic” processes that are largely described in astrological terms. Thoroughly refuted claims that ongoing global warming depends on variations in solar activity have been adopted by anthroposophists. This article proposes three major explanations for the persistence of climate science denial in the anthroposophical movement: Anthroposophists constantly look for guidance on scientific issues in the writings of their founder Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925), who made claims far off from the mainstream science of his time. They consider the material world to be constantly influenced by “spiritual” factors, including astrological constellations and a host of supernatural beings. Finally, they cherish ideas on a predetermined, largely cyclic, cosmic plan, of which humanity is a part.","PeriodicalId":43214,"journal":{"name":"Critical Research on Religion","volume":"10 1","pages":"281 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46451146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was the fi rst of its kind to be held in Sweden, drawing together the disciplines of Racism Studies and Religious Studies in order to highlight some of today ’ s most urgent and compelling issues and questions. For three days scholars, from around the world, came together to explore and discuss how racism and religion, historically and in the present, intermingle in different and complex ways. The aim was to understand how religion in its different constellations continues to produce and uphold, as well as counter, colonial structures, nationalism, and state racism. The aim was also to invite scholars to think about the role of religion, religious practices, and spiritualties within counter movements, such as indigenous rights movements. The goal of the conference was to create a platform for scholars interested in the intersections between racism and religion from which new interdisciplinary collaborations and projects could emanate to establish and further develop this research area, in both Sweden and internationally. The conference included twenty-three panel sessions offering a wide range of presentations re fl ecting a great diversity in topics. Some of the central themes presented dealt with experiences of racism and discrimination among religious minorities, the intersections of gender and religion, which in turn opened up important discussions on the meaning of secularism, nationalism, and feminist struggles. Other themes included the development of state racism and fascism in different parts of the world as well as expressions of particular kinds of racism, such as antisemitism and mentioned above that were included in the conference give us an indication of current research areas where the intersections on racism and religion are being explored. As such, the conference was informed by the deconstructive scholarship of the category of religion brought the Muftee is a sociologist and researcher Multidisciplinary Studies on Racism (Cemfor) at Uppsala University.
