„Under Construction: The Role of Religion in Eastern Europe Today“ Workshop

St. Petersburg, 20./21.09.2012

St. Petersburg, State University, Law Faculty, Auditory 2
September 20/21, 2012

While religion was expelled from the public space during Communist times and became a secret form of “inner emigration”, it entered the empty public space again in Post-Communist times. Public interest in religious issues and the public prestige of religion have dramatically increased.

The workshop “Under Construction. The Role of Religion in Eastern Europe Today” deals with the
(re-)emergence of religion in Eastern Europe and its impact on the economy, the society, and the state. Four panels are organized. Visitors are welcome to join. Please register at religion@zedat.fu-berlin.de no later than September 18, 2012.
