Wanted: Your film suggestions for “Screening Religion”For our film series “Screening Religion” we are looking for films for the summer semester programme. We are interested in films that deal with religion - be it as a catalyst for negotiation processes or conflicts, as a marker of identity or as a constitutive element of the social environment. If you know of such films that are suitable for public screening, please let us know. The films should be in English or German or at least have appropriate subtitles. It is not necessary to be able to provide a copy of the film, KFG will take care of that. Please send your suggestions with a short explanation to Judith Zimmermann by 30 January. Many thanks for your support! Today, 15 January, we will show the documentary “The Venerable W” (France/Switzerland 2017, Burmese with English subtitles) at Cinématèque in der nato at 7 p.m. Further, we would like to draw your attention to another film series: The Department of Mongolian Studies at the Institute for Indian Studies and Central Asian Studies is organising a Mongolian Film Evening every Wednesday 5 p.m., S 102, Schillerstraße 6.

CfA: Grant of the International Center for the Sociology of ReligionThe International Center for the Sociology of Religion grant programme provides residence in Rome (up to two months) for sociologists of religion. The grants provided will fund initial research into hypotheses that have not been fully explored as yet. Research applications will be judged principally based on the novelty of the hypotheses and the innovativeness of the approaches proposed, their direct relevance and applicability to the sociology of religion, their scientific quality and methodological strength. Deadline: 30 March 2020
