Workshop: METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF RELIGION
School dates: 23-27 February 2015
Location: University of Kent
This annual programme is designed to give post-graduate students core training in social research in relation to the study of religion. By the end of the programme, you will have an understanding of a range of key issues in designing and conducting research, as well as the potential and challenges of specific research methods. This should give you new ways of thinking about your own research work, as well as giving introducing you to resources and approaches that you will want to explore in more depth after completing this training. Whilst covering issues addressed on more generic social research methods training courses, the content will be designed and delivered by researchers with particular experience in studying religion, enabling us to focus on specific issues and resources relevant to this specific field. This programme builds on Kentâs experience of delivering a similar intensive training programme, funded by the AHRC, for postgraduate research students in the study of religion in 2010. This project also led to the creation of the âResearch methods for the study of religionâ website (www.kent.ac.uk/religionmethods) from which some of the preparatory work for this training programme has been set.
The 2015 programme will be led by Abby Day, with an international Academic Team including Lois Lee, Sarah Dunlop, Mia Lövheim, Melissa Caldwell, Sylvia Galandini, Anna Strhan, and Adam Dinham. They will cover issues such as research design and rigour, visual methods, internet research, ethnography, qualitative research analysis, quantitative methods and resources, action research, making impact, and getting published and funded. Numbers are strictly limited to encourage hands-on participation. Students not registered at the University of Kent pay a nominal fee of £100.00 for the week. Accommodation and meals are not included.

Lecture: Thailand@HU-Lecture Series
Transgenderism, Spirit Mediumship and Resurgent Supernaturalism in Thailand: Intersections of Thai Religious Studies and Queer Studies
Who: Prof. Peter Jackson, Australian National University – Pacific and Asian History
When: Wednesday, 12 June 2013 / 18:00 - 20:00
Where: IAAW – Invalidenstr. 118 – room 117 (1st floor), HU Berlin
Abstract: The double elision of queer genders and sexualities from Thai religious studies, and of religious ritual and practice from Thai queer studies, severely limits our understanding of the relations between the growing prominence of transgender kathoeys in modern Thai social life and the parallel resurgence of supernaturalism. In marked contrast to Peletz, who argues that modernity has led to the secularisation of transgenderism in SE Asia by redefining “transgendered individuals as contaminating (rather than sacred) mediators”, those writing on Thai spirit mediumship universally report the strong presence of “feminine” men, as well as “masculine” women. Contra Peletz, modernisation is not leading to an “eclipse” of “transgender ritual specialists” in Thai spirit mediumship but, as Endres (2011) reports for Vietnam and Ho (2009) observes of Burma, transgender spirit mediumship is becoming increasingly common. In this lecture Prof. Jackson will present examples of transgender spirit mediums from all regions of Thailand and outline a theoretical framework of how to approach these ritual specialists and their religious practice as distinctively (post-) “modern” phenomena.

Religion in Urban Spaces (Workshop)
Date: 09.-11. April 2014
Venue: Göttingen
Urban spaces have always functioned as cradles and laboratories for religious movements and spiritualities. The conference Religion in Urban Spaces will therefore explore the intense and complex interplay between the (post)modern city and religion, bringing the city to the fore in religious research. Both renowned and young scholars from all over the world will present their latest research and bring into discussion the ways the experience of the urban – the cityscape with its pluralist culture – inscribes itself in religious practices, and vice versa: how religions appropriate and transform (the meanings of) the urban.
