This conference explores how interreligious dialogue and diverse spiritual traditions can help address anti-Asian racism in Canada while fostering justice, healing and solidarity.

Organized by the Committee on Asian/North American Asian Theologies and Spiritualities (CANAATS), this conference brings together scholars, faith leaders, students and community members to examine the intersections of anti-Asian racism, theology, spirituality and social justice in the Canadian context.

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of CANAATS, the conference reflects Emmanuel College's longstanding commitment to interreligious engagement, inclusive dialogue and justice. Through keynote discussions, panel conversations and opportunities for reflection, participants will explore how Christian, Buddhist, Muslim and other faith traditions can contribute to confronting racism, strengthening resilience and building solidarity across communities.

Topics will include the meaning and diversity of Asian identity, relationships between anti-racism and anti-Indigenous frameworks, theological responses to racism and practical approaches to community engagement. The conference aims to foster meaningful dialogue while equipping participants with resources for continued learning and action.
