Program Unit Online June Annual Meeting 2026

Religion, Colonialism, and Postcolonialism Unit

Call for Proposals

We invite all papers and proposals dealing with topics related to religion, colonialism, and post-colonialism.

Statement of Purpose

This Unit presents an opportunity for scholars in various subfields of religious studies to explore a topic whose relevance cuts across specializations. We bring together scholars treating different time periods, geographical regions, and traditions in working to strengthen our field’s role in the study of empire, colonialism, and postcolonialism.
