Location:
RC46 Clinical Sociology (host committee)
Language: English
Session Type: Oral
This session focuses on the analysis of practices of religious organizations in working with vulnerable groups, for example in designing and implementing programs for drug-addict rehabilitation, migrant adaptation, prevention of suicide, crisis female support, care for the elderly, or palliative assistance.
This session invites submissions that contribute to answering the following questions:
- What insight does clinical sociology bring to programs by religious organisations aiming to reduce social inequality and social tension, in order to improve the quality of life of vulnerable groups, and ensure social justice in society?
- How can religious organizations' social practices inform clinical sociologists' quest for effective interventions in building community and providing support for vulnerable groups?
