Open to advanced students and doctoral researchers (Registration closes May 31, 2025).
Feel free to share this post with your students and colleagues!
The course explores how religious coexistence between 1500–1800 could both ignite and prevent conflict, from Augsburg to Suriname, from Ireland to the Kingdom of Kongo. We’ll investigate the logic and discourse of escalation: when does tension rise, and when does religion become a force for peace?
