This actually marks the third international meeting of the Association for Religion, Economics and Culture (ASREC), which will be meeting in Chapman's Fish Interfaith Center. Topics of discussion include: consequences of the Catholic Church abuse scandal; the impact of religion on economic development; religious extremism and violence; how religion affects charitable giving; and experimental studies of religious belief and behavior.
Other participants from Chapman include: Laurence Iannacone, a professor of economics who serves as the ASREC president, Bart Wilson, Roman Sheremeta, Jared Rubin, Eric Shniter and Christopher Bader.
The conference is scheduled to commence at 10:15 a.m. with a welcome from Chapman President James Doti. Multiple sessions follow both days, with Friday's Keynote Session at 6 p.m. featuring a Q&A with Smith and three other distinguished scholars.
Registration of $50 for students and $150 for non-students was being charged--unless you have a current Chapman student, faculty or staff ID, in which case it's free. More details and directions: http://www.thearda.com/asrec/
