"Studying Lived Religion: Challenges and Prospects"
with Prof. Nancy Ammerman
Monday, October 7, 2013
3pm - 5:30pm
CURA Institute, 10 Lenox St.
First Floor Conference Room                      
This event is hosted by the Social Science and Religion Network and featuring Dr. Nancy Ammerman, Department of Sociology.

Research on "lived religion" focuses on the everyday practices of ordinary people, in contrast to the study of official texts, organizations, and experts.  The increasing range of cultures and social spaces being studied enriches our understanding of the nature of religion, but it also poses challenges for the task of building up a body of concepts and theories. This presentation will open up a conversation about next steps in the study of lived religion.
