The International Society for the Study of
Religion, Nature & Culture

The international character of the organization is reflected in our membership; ISSRNC members are acknowledged experts in diverse subjects and focal areas, with deep knowledge of particular religions, cultures, geographies, and their environmental concerns. The Board of Directors cordially invites all individuals interested in the scholarly investigation of religion/nature/culture to participate in ISSRNC activities.

The society has held two international meetings, one in April 2006 in Gainesville, Florida, the second in Morelia, Mexico, in January 2008, with participants from over forty countries so far. Planning for the society’s third international conference, to be held in The Netherlands in June or July 2007, is currently underway.

Since its inception in 2006 the society has grown steadily, reaching 116 members at the end of 2006 and 200 at the end of 2007. The Board of Directors cordially invites all individuals interested in the scholarly investigation of religion/nature/culture to join and to participate in ISSRNC activities. Members not only enjoy a growing number of benefits, including the Society’s quarterly journal: they also directly increase the profile and strength of this important and growing scholarly field, helping to create further opportunities for Religion and Nature scholars.

The Association for the Study of Esotericism, with the ISSRNC as co-sponsor, has announced its Third International Conference with the theme Esotericism, Religion, and Nature. The conference will be held at College of Charleston, in Charleston, South Carolina (USA), May 29 - June 1, 2008.
