Researching religion in an entangled world
We welcome junior scholars to our preconference entitled: “Researching Religion in an Entangled World”. The preconference focuses on different methodological and theoretical approaches to the study of religion. It supports Research Master and PhD students in developing their methods and methodologies, in conversation with their peers and with established scholars. Second, it will support students in exploring how interdisciplinarity could benefit their research, as well as in identifying the challenges of interdisciplinary work.
