This summer's G_NET Colloquium will focus on Digital Religion and Digital Theology. The colloquium will be co-hosted by Prof. Dr. Heidi Campbell who is a visiting professor at Bonn this semester. Digital Religion and Digital Theology are quickly growing research fields. Yet, while the digital is inter- and transcultural by nature, scholars in the fields of Intercultural Theology and Ecumenical Studies have only just begun to recognize the importance of the digital for future theological research. Therefore, this year's summer series of the G_NET Colloquium seeks to address Digital Theology as an exciting future field for Intercultural Theological research. In doing so, we intend to use the opportunity of the colloquium to bring the new perspectives and methodologies offered by Digital Theology and valuable across the various disciplines closer to the students of Protestant Theology.

This opening lecture will provide an overview of what religion looks like in the 21st Century through the lens of digital religion. The concept speaks to how religion and faith are being lived out on digital platforms, as well as how new technologies guide our understanding of what it means to be religious. Here digital religion will be introduced and defined. Also discussed is the extent to which religion performed “online” reflects and/or shapes traditional religious practices and communities in a digital society.

OpenAI's GPT-3 is currently very hyped and on everyone's lips. The transformative potential of such large language models (LLMs) is enormous. Many areas of our lives will change fundamentally – including the legal system. We want to discuss the transformational potential of LLMs in the legal sphere together with high level international experts, aiming to identify a research agenda on the responsible application and governance of LLMs in the legal domain. Hannah Bleher (University Bonn) and Stella Dörenbach (Hans Böckler Foundation) are organizing this event as part of ZEIT Verlag's Zia Fellowship "Visible Women in Science“.
