How do religious ideas shape the efforts of groups to craft alternative states\, or to seek to change existing states from within? How do groups c ompete to mobilize sacred power in divided societies? Focusing on the 19th century to the present\, and with case studies from Europe\, southern Afr ica and the Americas\, this workshop explores the intersections of sacred and political power in societies shaped by Christianity and colonialism wh ile claiming to have been emancipated from both.\n\nThe workshop\, brings together historians and religious studies specialists to explore the compl icated and shifting relationships of religion and politics in Christian an d would-be secular and post-Christian states\, with attention to struggles to control sacred power in divided societies. The workshop adopts a broad definition of both religion and politics appropriate to our current era o f changing definitions and blurring lines.\n\nSpeakers:\n Wendell Nii Laryr ea Adjetey (History and Classical Studies\, 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ)\n Tassos Anastassiades (History and Classical Studies\, 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ)\n Ananya Chakravarti (History\, Ge orgetown)\n Ruramisai Charumbira (History\, Western University)\n Elizabeth Elbourne (History and Classical Studies\, 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ)\n Hillary Kaell (Religiou s Studies\, 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ)\n Pamela Klassen (Department for the Study of Religion\ , University of Toronto)\n Piotr Kosicki (History\, Maryland)\n Paul Landau (History\, Maryland)\n Darren Reid (History\, University of Alberta)\n Alex Tepperman (Criminal Justice\, University of Winnipeg)\n \n Attendance is ope n to all\, and registration is free.
