Emeritus Group Religious Diversity
The topic of this group is religious diversity and nationalism in Asia and among the Asian diaspora. The governance of religious diversity is studied in relation to communal violence, and state sovereignty. The group contributes to theoretical understandings of death, violence, ritual, and secularism. The group is involved in the Max Planck - Cambridge Centre for Ethics, Economy and Social Change (informally “Max-Cam”), a collaborative undertaking with the University of Cambridge (https://www.socanth.cam.ac.uk/socanth-research/max-cam )
