New Approaches to Measuring Religion and Its Effects
Sat, August 8, 4:00 to 5:30pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
The ways religion and its effects are measured shape what we know about its role in social life. This session invites papers that interrogate existing measures, introduce new frameworks, or leverage innovative data to advance understanding of religion's relationship to politics, culture, science, gender, and other domains. Submissions that treat measurement not as a technical exercise but as a theoretical and substantive contribution to the sociology of religion are especially encouraged.
