in Kumasi/Ghana
Organizers: Interdisciplinary Fellow Group on Religious Diversity in Urban West Africa: Exploring Modes of Coexistence for Sustainable Governance (IFG 7)
Abstract:
African cities have been undergoing considerable transformations in recent times. The significant role and impact that religious communities are competing for and benefiting from these transformations in African cities, however, have not attracted much interest. This conference focuses on how people of various religious groups encounter and co-exist with one another in African cities. Researcher from various disciplines analyse the multi-faceted entanglements that religions navigate in these settings and the broader impact that they have on the social and political dynamics in urban Africa.
