RELIGION AND EMPIRE
BRINFAITH Online Public Lecture Series
Held once a month, the series invites scholars from all around the globe to discuss their research on the interconnections between religion, infrastructure and empire in Afro-Eurasia. Engaging a wide variety of disciplines and topics, the lectures promise to enrich our understanding of how religiosities are transforming in an infrastructurally-connected yet increasingly de-globalizing world defined by great power competition.
