Research Centres
The Religious Studies sector has two research centres: the Canadian Centre for Research on Women and Religion and the Research Centre in Religious Studies. In addition, the Religious Studies sector collaborates with the Classics sector in a regional research network, the Ottawa Network for the Study of Late Antiquity, which is based in the department.
The Canadian Centre for Research on Women and Religion
Each year, the centre offers conferences or colloquia, provides documentation, and maintains a reference library. The centre also maintains a strong presence at the provincial and national level by sending delegates to all major conferences dealing with women and religion.
The Research Centre in Religious Studies
The Centre organizes lectures and other events involving both graduate students and faculty. It has developed data banks in such areas as world religions, methodology of the history of religious, Amerindian religions, ecumenism in Canada, religion and sexuality, and intercultural studies.
The Ottawa Network for the Study of Late Antiquity
The Network promotes the study of the culture of the Mediterranean world from the 3rd to the 7th century, a period of remarkable religious, political, and socioeconomic changes. Its members are drawn from universities in the region of Ottawa, and are experts in rhetoric, history, historiography, religion, philosophy, palaeography, papyrology, epigraphy, and ancient languages (Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic, Coptic, Ethiopic, Syriac).
