03/07/2026 15:00 - 19:30
HALL: Parenzo - A8

Contact: Tarantino D.

Chair: Sinisi L.

This panel, convened by Daniela Tarantino (University of Genoa), Director of the Interdepartmental Research Centre on Migratory Religious Phenomena and Territorial Transformations, explores how religion, migration, and space intersect in shaping contemporary inequalities. It examines the dual role of religion as both a resource for social cohesion and a source of exclusion, focusing on how faith-based actors, institutions, and communities negotiate visibility, recognition, and justice within contexts of mobility and structural inequality. Through interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives, the panel seeks to rethink religion's contribution to the redefinition of equality, belonging, and coexistence in an era marked by global migration and territorial transformation. The panel is organized into two complementary sections, reflecting both the historical-legal roots of religious inequality and the contemporary and future dynamics of faith, mobility, and justice.
