Multi-religious Welcoming Spaces in the Italian University System
ABSTRACT: The essay deals with the issue of the spaces Italian universities provide for worship and other spiritual activities. Designating public spaces for religious and spiritual needs is an example of the ongoing adaptation process of institutions to social needs that is marked by ever-increasing religious and cultural pluralism. However, Italian universities have been affected by this phenomenon only in a marginal way so far. This paper, which is based on field research, describes the similarities and differences of the solutions adopted in various Italian institutions of higher education. In her concluding remarks, the Author points out the emergence of the "Islamic Question". Indeed, the attitude towards Muslim communities by Italian universities is very similar to that of other public administrations.

Sweden as a sui generis Legal Order within Europe during the Pandemic and the Specificity of the Measures adopted to counter Covid-19 - 4. Religious Freedom in Sweden during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT: The Covid pandemic has an enormous impact on individual rights. This is true also for the freedom to manifest one's religion and Sweden represents an exceptional case study because the strategies the Swedish Government has adopted to limit the spread of the virus are distinct from those adopted in other European countries. The article will first analyse Swedish constitutional provisions with reference to the protection of religious freedom. Second, the article will offer some examples concerning the distinguishing features of the measures adopted by the Swedish Government. Third, attention will be dedicated to the analysis of the conduct of the Church of Sweden and of other religious communities with regard to the governmental decisions to counter Covid-19. The main argument of this article is that the concept of 'Trust' can both justify the responses of the religious communities and be used in the broader perspective of the upcoming legislative reforms regarding religious communities.
