Scholars across disciplines have begun to examine the colonial legacies of their theories, methods, and epistemologies. What does this mean for the study of religion? Join us to discuss postcolonial theory and ongoing efforts to decolonize the study of religion. The workshop speakers will examine the theoretical insights of postcolonial theory, share personal and professional experiences towards decolonizing the study of religion, and 45 minutes of discussion about the implications for individual scholars and institutional structures at Emory, AAR, SBL, and elsewhere in the academy. 

Featured Speakers: Dr. Kwok Pui Lan (Candler School of Theology) and Marcelitte Failla (GDR student) 

Dr. Jim Hoesterey, Moderator
