This panel will explore the new currents for research (ideas, sources, archives, approaches) in the study of contemporary religious history across geographies, denominations, and cultures. We encourage scholars to share their latest findings as well as their ongoing projects.Some of the themes that we propose to discuss are the following: -recent history of religious diversity and ecumenical dialogue;-the political uses of religion and violence;-ecology;-gender (femininities, masculinities, non-binary, LGTBQ+, and queer religion);-material religion (including the body, sensory religion, devotions, space, and emotions);-the interactions between the global, the local, and the national, the transnational as well as the post/de-colonial;-the post/secular;-theology and religious intellectuals;-and the new methodologies and interdisciplinarity at, for example, the intersections of theology and/or religious studies and history, media studies, anthropology, sociology, medicine, economy, and the humanities.NB: Please bear in mind that while we welcome new and unexpected perspectives, the panel's central approach is historiographical, which means that your case study should be historically analyzed and contextualized.
