Society RLA
The Society for Studies in Religion, Literature and
the Art is located within the Department of Studies in
Religion at the University of Sydney.
Through the work of scholars and practioners in
literature, religion, music, visual arts, philosophy,
history, film and dance, the Society explores the human
capacity to yearn for the ineffable. This endeavour cuts
across the boundaries of faiths and cultures while at the
same time revering them and the traditions they uphold. The
Society equally values the inherent spirituality of writers
and artists who work outside any of the faith systems. A
summary of the Society's activities and contact details are
given below.
Society RLA Activities
The Society organises lectures, exhibitions, performances
and conferences and publishes the fruits of those events.
The Society will commence publication of monographs on the
interface between religion, literature and the arts.
A newsletter is distributed by email, to which you may
subscribe, without charge. Please contact
