This one-day workshop brings together scholars who engage with cultural and social histories on the intersection of religion, science and the supernatural in colonial contexts. We particularly welcome papers from PGs & ECRs who address methodological and theoretical issues in their work on supernatural religion in empire, and are interested in reflections on dynamics of cross-cultural religious practices, beliefs and phenomena across a range of methods and sources.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Racialised notions of ‘superstition’ & ‘modernity’
- ‘Hybridised’ religious & mystical phenomena
- Scientific knowledge production & experience
- Supernatural landscapes & bodies in empires
- Material culture of religious supernaturalism
- Fictional & artistic representations
Proposals should be based on ongoing research to stimulate discussion. Limited travel bursaries are available; please indicate in your correspondence whether you would like to be considered.
