Please find the latest issue of our newsletter and journal Constellations here.
Issue 4 marks the first year of the e-publication and reports on our recent Environmental Crisis workshop in Cape Town and the Science Day in London.

Our Inflection, or self-reproach, reflects on apologist contributions to the Science and Islam debate, highlighting some of the of impacts of such ideas with a view to maturing our approach.
