Prof. Richard Ascough has been awarded the D2L Innovation Award in Teaching and Learning from the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education for his course on Greek and Roman Religions (RELS 321). Selected from applicants around the world, the award recognizes educators that are redefining the learning experience through innovative practices. He will receive the award at the STLHE conference in Halifax in June, and will also attend a D2L conference in Las Vegas in July.

Professor James Miller gave an interview on ABC Radio National's Late Night Live.

"With the US shrinking from the Paris Agreement, all eyes are on China to become the world leader on climate change. How China balances economic growth with environmental responsibility, could change the environmental trajectory of the entire planet."

"Academic James Miller argues there is just one stumbling block: Western ideas on how to save the planet don’t resonate deeply in China. But he says, that the ancient Chinese religion of Daosim might fill the gap."

Queen’s University has committed itself to reconciliation with Indigenous peoples in this country. Members of Queen’s School of Religion are taking an active role in this process. Drs. Bill Morrow and Valerie Michaelson recently organized an event responding to the call of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the repeal of section 43 of the Criminal Code, a law that currently protects the use of corporal punishment as a means of child discipline.
