The fifteenth international and interdisciplinary conference of the European Research Network on Global Pentecostalism (GloPent) will be held on 13–14 June 2025 at the University of Uppsala, Sweden
Conveners: Ulrik Josefsson and Samuel Åsberg
Conference Theme
As proud host of the 2025 GloPent Conference, the Institute for Pentecostal Studies based at Uppsala University has taken the opportunity to bring together the field of Peace and Conflict research with research on Global Pentecostalism. The theme is both timely and internationally relevant and draws on Uppsala University’s long history of education and research in the field of Peace and Conflict. We envisage an exciting conference which will contribute to a development of research in Global Pentecostalism in this regard.
Throughout history and across cultures, people have been inspired by various religious visions of a better world, often revealing both positive and negative aspects of faith traditions. As such, the study of peace and conflict extends far beyond war and peacebuilding, but also includes social movements, a sustainable environment, solidarity and global justice, as well as institutional power and politics.
