2218 - Public Religions in Comparative-Historical Perspective
Sun, August 11, 10:30am to 12:10pm, New York Hilton, Floor: Second Floor, Nassau WestSession Submission Type: Paper Session 100min
Description
Since the 1970s, religion has “gone public” around the world, taking an increasingly visible role in public life and interacting in complex ways with social and political power. How can comparative and historical approaches help us better understand the changing public influence and activities of religions in the sociopolitical sphere? Featuring case studies as well as cross-religious and cross-regional comparative works, this session highlights fresh and exemplary historical sociological contributions to the study of religion, politics, and civil society.
