Religious Studies (RLST)

Religious Studies Student Association

The Department recognizes the Religious Studies Student Association (RSSA) as the official representative of undergraduate student opinion in the Department. The Association elects an executive and chooses the student representative to the Head's selection committee, faculty selection committees, Department meetings, and Faculty of Arts Council meetings. 

The Religious Studies Students Association is a group of students interested in creating a fun and interactive environment for study and socialization within the department of Religious Studies.

The RSSA hosts and co-hosts social events for students and faculty. They meet periodically and they also host movie nights and various other events during the academic year. The RSSA assists the faculty in the organization of faculty events (guest lectures, retirement celebrations, etc).

Students who are taking Religious Studies classes are most welcome to participate in the activities of the Religious Studies Students Association.

As a vibrant and dynamic learning environment, the Department of Religious Studies is proud to present several on-going lecture series, featuring scholars from the University of Regina and federated colleges, as well as guest-lecturers from institutions around the world.

Keep an eye out for our "Religious Studies Ideas Series" (RSIS) which is held on an annual basis. We also host "Everything Religious Studies" which features university professors speaking about current topics in religious studies. These lecture series are open to students, faculty, and members from the community. 

Past talks have included Giovanna Parmigiani's Lived Conspirituality: Researching Conspiracy Theory and Alternative Spiritualities and Kyuhoon Cho's Asian Religious Encounters: The Transnational Space Making of A Korean Protestant NGO in New Delhi, India.
