CCSCE, The Network on Christian Churches, Culture and Society, in cooperation with KADOC-KU Leuven, is organizing an international conference.

This conference wishes to foster the historical debate on 19th- and 20th-century religiously inspired female agency in Europe within the specific yet diverse context of social commitment to subaltern groups.

The focus will be on care provisions for vulnerable, marginalised, and indigent people: Prostitutes, ‚fallen‘ women and girls, migrants, indigent and elderly people, the mentally ill etc., initiated and managed by Christian (lay or clerically organised congregations, sisterhoods, deaconesses …), Jewish, and Muslim women.
