Refugees and Religion

The complex role of religion in the flight and accommodation of refugees is often overlooked or narrowed down to questions about the presumed backwardness of religious conflict or moral superiority of a welcoming culture. With the editors of Refugees and Religion we discuss the issue of religion from a broader, comparative and historical perspective, understanding religious refugees as an integral part of the modern world.

Speakers:

Abdoulaye Sounaye (ZMO), Birgit Meyer (Utrecht University), Arjun Appadurai (New York University), Tam T. T. Ngo (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity), Peter van der Veer (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity)
