This international KFG workshop, organised by our Permanent Senior Research Fellow Wolfgang Höpken, wants to debate the question on how the borderlines between the religious and the secular have been drawn – both in the past and during the more recent decades – by picking up individual case studies from various Balkan countries and bringing together representatives from different disciplines and approaches.

The workshop will take place on-site and online. Please register via multiple-secularities@uni-leipzig.de by 7 November and indicate whether you will be attending on-site or online.
