Locating the Study of Religion Spring Religion Colloquium The academic study of religion is known for its many subfields and methodologies. But are there still some common methodological elements or governing assumptions that scholars across subfields share? Do these elements distinguish the academic study of religion from other academic fields that also engage with matters of religion? How do we locate the study of religion? Panelists will include • M. Shahab Ahmed, Associate Professor of Islamic Studies (FAS) • Charles Hallisey, Yehan Numata Senior Lecturer in Buddhist Literatures (HDS) • Mayra Rivera, Associate Professor of Theology and Latina/o Studies (HDS) • Charles Lockwood, Ph.D. Candidate in the Study of Religion (GSAS). When: Wed., April 17 from 5pm-7pm Where: Plimpton Room (133), Barker Center[cid:6425EDCA-A6F8-4EC3-9E8A-D8763B9C69D1@fas.harvard.edu]
