• 3:30pm: Living Humanism: Material Culture and the Remaking of Religion
  What’s this religion in material culture? How does the performativity of religion in material cultural practices often remake religion into forms of humanist expressions? Although the Pacific Northwest, in particular, has been dubbed the ‘None Zone’ due to low rates of institutional religious participation, scholars have suggested that the cultural cartography of religion points towards a more “spiritual” remaking of religion. What does this landscape look like, especially among young people in Portland, Oregon?
       
       This one day symposium brings scholars together, whose scholarship, in divergent ways, gives thought to the shifting context, understanding, classification, and modalities of how material culture (broadly understood), reshapes how we think about the category of religion, both theoretically and methodologically. The shape shifty landscape of contemporary culture offers a robust terrain to interrogate and rethink how we give thought to categories such as religion, as expressed in the multiplicities of material cultural products.
       
       This symposium is dedicated to the theme “Living Humanism” to consider the complex ways in which religion and religious rhetorical housing often provides a space to negotiate human interests, means, and ends. Here, we consider how material culture, as both product and context, forces a rethinking of how religion is remade, often providing a cosmology of Humanism as both practice and posture in seemingly un/conscious ways.

• 1:00pm - 5:00pm: 2012 Cannabis Law Reform Conference
  Currently, Oregon has three initiative campaigns competing for signatures, fundraising, and volunteers, all hoping to qualify for the November ballot; the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act (OCTA), Sensible Oregon, and Citizens for Sensible Law Enforcement (I-24).
  
  In order to propel the Oregon marijuana legalization movement forward, Oregon’s SSDP chapters have come together to host the 2012 Cannabis Law Reform Conference on February 25th here at our own Lewis & Clark Law School campus.
  
  During the conference, Oregon SSDP will put on a neutral, non-confrontational debate between the initiatives in order to educate the public and Oregon’s SSDP members about the different aspects of each campaign.
  
  Whether you have been involved in SSDP or not thus far, if you desire a world free from cannabis prohibition where farmers may grow hemp, entrepreneurs may utilize hemp to create up to 50,000 different products, students may no longer worry of suspension or denial of scholarships because of marijuana, and consumers may fuel legitimate, legal businesses, come. Come and learn. Come and participate. Come and engage.
