Religion und Politik | Projekte

The workshop brought together international scholars and PhD students to explore questions of supervision, research collaboration, decoloniality, and the infrastructures of knowledge production in a multipolar world.

The workshop, aimed at critically examining the intersection of religion and state governance in Kenya from an interfaith perspective, focusing on legal regulations and education.

The central question, which the workshop seeks to address, is: How do social identities inform the ways in which Christians, Muslims and practitioners of African Traditional Religion assert, bridge and accommodate religious differences in Nigeria's plural religious settings?

We are an interdisciplinary research and teaching network that aims to foster dialogue and collaboration among scholars at the University of Münster and beyond whose work touches on Africa and its location in a global order. We want to bring into conversation colleagues from various disciplines at the University of Münster who share an interest in Africa. We raise empirical and conceptual questions relevant to Africa’s material and intellectual past and present within a global context. Our research connects contemporary social and political processes to a long-standing history of interconnection and exchange on and beyond the African continent.
