The conference is part of the dissemination programme of the project, specifically addressing the academics, intellectuals, and civil society in Lahore. Eminent scholars, media persons, human rights activists and legal experts will be looking at various aspects of religious thought and practice. The conference panel deal with the role of religion in various contexts such as education, civil society organisations, conflict and peace, law, value systems and politics. This conference is second in the series of conferences in LUMS under this project.
