Books, statues, scrolls, buildings, printed images, radios, televisions, social networks–these are all media that people use to experience religion.

The Religion & Media focus area involves international scholars from various disciplines–including religious studies, media studies and communication, philology, art history, anthropology, sociology–who employ their different expertise to discuss new methodologies and theories. They organize workshops, establish international networks, and disseminate research through conferences and publications. New collaborations, perspectives, and ideas are always welcome.
