Canadian Muslims Online
A Cross-Canada Collaborative Research Project

This cross-Canada collaborative research project on Canadian Muslims online will examine how English and French-speaking Canadian Muslims use the Internet and study what role the Internet and digital technology play in their everyday lives within regional, national and global networks. The project asks: How are today’s new digital landscapes transforming and shaping (or not) Canadian Muslims' identities, communities, intra-religious and interreligious relations, and perceptions of religious authority. In addition to these four interrelated research areas, the project is especially attentive to the impacts digital technologies may, or may not have on women, youth, and religious leaders.

Chair for the Management of Cultural and Religious Diversity

Faced with the reality of religious pluralism, both Quebec and Canadian societies must redefine the relationship between religion and the core values of their respective culture(s). The aim of the Chair for the Management of Cultural et Religious Society is to promote multidisciplinary research and its distribution, while also developing cutting-edge expertise and training on emerging issues related to religion. First of its kind in the country, the Chair in Religion, Culture, and Society has already proven its influence by the progress that has been made since its creation: the Chair acts as a catalyst for scientific and public events.

Centre de recherche Société, Droit et Religions de l'Université de Sherbrooke

Mettant à profit une démarche de type comparatif et théorique, le SoDRUS veut analyser des problèmes et des phénomènes concrets relatifs aux minorités culturelles et religieuses au Canada à l’aide d’un triple regard  transversal : une analyse théorique sur les contenus normatifs des minorités et de leurs revendications; une analyse anthropologique sur les composantes culturelles et religieuses et la manière par laquelle elles déterminent le cadre normatif; et une analyse sur les contenus normatifs et sociaux du religieux et leurs impacts sur le plan socio-juridique. Ce triple regard devrait permettre de voir d’une manière plus globalisante l’insertion juridique et sociale de ces groupes à l’intérieur de l’espace public canadien.
