Religion and Politics Unit and Religion in Europe Unit
Call for Proposals
The rise of right-wing political groups across Europe - as seen for example in the October 2022 election of Giorgia Meloni in Italy, or the December 2022 attempted coup in Germany - has served as a reminder of the importance of understanding how religion informs the goals and grievances of the European right. We seek papers that explore the various ways that religion and/or religious narratives inform and intersect with these political movements, whether in the form of religious nationalism, narratives against particular religious traditions (i.e. Islam, Judaism), or alternatively, within responses to the European right. In particular, we invite papers that form the basis for comparisons across Europe and/or in conversation with perspectives from the United States context.
