The societies of East-Central and South-Eastern Europe are characterized by a large degree of religious diversity. Some of the communities in the region are not only united by their denominational/religious affiliation, but their members also share a common ethnic background. The panel presentations address topics relevant for the study of ethno-religious communities, such as: the historical origins and formation processes of these groups; the dynamics of the socio-religious landscapes they are embedded in; legal issues concerning their status as intersectional minorities in multi-religious societies; majority-minority relations; questions concerning homogeneity/heterogeneity as well as individual/collective identities; processes of intra-group diversification, and other relevant issues.
