​IRAS Special Session at AAAS
​February 13, 2020

IRAS 2020 Summer Conference,
​on scenic Star Island, Gosport, NH
June 27 – July 4, 2020​

Naturalism — as Religion, within Religions, or without Religion?
What are the consequences of science-inspired naturalism for religion? In this conference, we will explore and evaluate options available to those who take science seriously. Briefly, these could be characterized as replacement (religious naturalism), reform (naturalistic strands within religious traditions), and rejection (secular humanism). Plenary speakers will include Owen Flanagan (philosophy and cognitive neuroscience), Ursula Goodenough (biologist, president of the Religious Naturalist Association), Sarah Lane Ritchie, Janet Newton (chapel speaker), James Ungureanu, Carol Wayne White, and Willem B. Drees.
​Program co-chairs are Willem B. Drees & Barbara Whittaker-Johns.
