Papers Session: Interreligious Studies Interactive Workshop
Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
I am developing a preliminary model of studying religious boundary-work that I wish to discuss at the interactive workshop. It proposes five areas of investigation: the location of the boundary; the Interpretation of the postulated difference; the means by which boundaries are expressed, interpreted, and possibly enforced; the motives for drawing boundaries, and the agents involved in boundary-work. I would love to have a critical conversation with colleagues in the field about how this model might be useful in the analysis of interreligious situations.
