Call for Participation: Religions in Diaspora Postgraduate and Early Career Scholars Workshop with Professor Kim Knott
Wednesday July 3rd
2:30-5 pm
Location: TBA
Format: A workshop to network and present your work-in-progress with Oxford Diaspora Programme visiting scholar Professor Kim Knott, Department of Philosophy, Politics and Religion, Lancaster University. Participants will each have fifteen to twenty minutes to present their work in progress and receive feedback in an informal setting.
Professor Knott has made substantial contributions to the theorisation of diaspora, and religion. Her research interests include the theorisation of space and place; the interrogation of religious and political spaces; spatial metaphors in religious and political discourse; the relationship between religion and non-religion; the 'secular sacred'; media representations of religion; and religion and its intersections with migration, diasporas, diversity and ethnicity.
She is the author of The Location of Religion: A Spatial Analysis (2005) and co-edited with Sean McLouglin the volume Diaspora: Concepts, Intersections and Identities (2010).
To register for the event kindly send a brief summary of your research interests and affiliations to Dr Esther Rootham ([log in to unmask]) by May 24. Participation will be confirmed by May 31.
